Faam blazend op een bazuin 1836 - 1912

"Faam blazend op een bazuin" (Fame Blowing on a Trumpet) is a drawing by Dutch artist Isaac Weissenbruch, created between 1836 and 1912, and is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection. The piece depicts an angel with flowing robes and outstretched wings, blowing a trumpet while riding on a ribbon. The image symbolizes the power and reach of fame, as the angel's trumpet blast echoes across the sky, carried by the ribbon's wind. Weissenbruch's meticulous detail and delicate line work bring the angel to life, capturing a moment of celestial grandeur.
