Heilige Geneviève met een engel c. 1575 - 1600

Philips Galle's "Heilige Geneviève met een engel" is a detailed engraving dating back to the late 16th century. The print depicts Saint Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris, in a landscape setting, receiving comfort from an angel. The scene is set in a rural area, with rolling hills, winding streams, and a distant city in the background. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the trees, the texture of the ground, and the delicate features of the figures. The engraving is a testament to the artist’s skill in portraying both the spiritual and the physical aspects of the saint’s story.
