Annunciatie 1600 - 1620

"Annunciatie" is an engraving by Justus Sadeler, created between 1600 and 1620. The artwork depicts the Annunciation, a biblical story where the Angel Gabriel informs Mary that she will bear the Son of God. Sadeler portrays this scene in a dynamic way, with the angel bursting through a wall, while Mary sits in her room, her hand raised in surprise. The work is full of intricate details, including a multitude of angels and a scene of construction in the background. This engraving is a classic example of Sadeler's skill in capturing drama and emotion in his work, and is a popular example of the religious art genre. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
