"Engel met het zwaard van Petrus, de geldbuidel van Judas en een toorts," an etching by Johann Sadeler I (1550-1601), depicts a winged angel holding a torch, a sword, and a purse, symbolizing the power of divine justice and the betrayal of Judas. This small print, created between 1580 and 1600, is a masterful example of Sadeler's intricate engraving style and detailed composition. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and provides a glimpse into the artist's exploration of religious narratives and allegorical imagery.
