Three Marys and the Angel at the Sepulchre c. 17th century

Editor: So this is "Three Marys and the Angel at the Sepulchre" by Jean Louis Roullet. It’s an engraving, and the drama of the scene really gets me. What do you make of it? Curator: It's a fascinating print! It's almost as if Roullet invites us to ponder the very moment of revelation. Look at the Marys, a cascade of emotions painted on their faces! Can you feel their disbelief, their wonder? And the angel, so nonchalantly pointing, a messenger of profound change. Does it make you wonder what happened next? Editor: Absolutely, there's so much emotion. It’s an interesting contrast to the serenity of the angel. Curator: Precisely! It’s like the artist is asking, "What do *you* think comes next?" Which is what makes it feel so relevant. Editor: Definitely given me some food for thought.
