Gabriël verschijnt aan Zacharias 1564

"Gabriël verschijnt aan Zacharias" (Gabriel Appears to Zacharias) is an engraving by Philips Galle, a Flemish printmaker known for his religious works. The 1564 print depicts the biblical scene where the angel Gabriel appears to Zacharias, a priest who is about to offer incense, announcing the birth of John the Baptist. The composition uses strong diagonal lines to guide the viewer's eye towards the central figures and emphasizes the dramatic moment of the announcement. This engraving exemplifies Galle's skill in translating complex narratives into visually engaging scenes.
