This etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, a prominent Italian artist known for his architectural engravings, depicts a powerful image of God the Father. His figure is partially obscured by a flowing robe, with only his head and hand visible. He gazes downward, holding the globe in his hand, a symbol of his dominion over the world. Piranesi's masterful use of light and shadow enhances the sense of awe and reverence surrounding this figure.
