Heilige Juan Diego vindt het door de engel gegeven voedsel 1646

This etching, "Heilige Juan Diego vindt het door de engel gegeven voedsel", by Simon (II) Guillain depicts Juan Diego, a central figure in the legend of the Virgin of Guadalupe, as he encounters an angel who has brought him food. The work was created in 1646, the same year that Simon Guillain died. The composition is characterized by its use of a diagonal perspective, placing the viewer within the scene. This technique, typical of Baroque art, creates a sense of drama and dynamism. The angel, soaring above a landscape, emphasizes the divine intervention within the story.
