The angel delivering the apostles out of the prison 1575

"The angel delivering the apostles out of the prison" is a 1575 engraving by Philips Galle depicting a scene from the Bible. This engraving illustrates the moment when an angel freed the Apostles from prison, as described in the book of Acts. The composition is dynamic, with the angel leading the Apostles forward, and the guards lying in a stupor on the ground, in a dramatic depiction of God's intervention. The intricate details of the architecture and the guards' armor showcase the skilled hand of Galle, a prominent engraver of the late Renaissance. The engraving is a testament to the power of faith and the divine intervention that can occur in the face of adversity.
