Verschijning van een engel 1611

Theodoor Galle's 1611 engraving "Verschijning van een engel" (Appearance of an Angel), depicts an angel offering a crown to a kneeling figure. The scene, likely inspired by a religious text, takes place within an architectural setting and showcases Galle's skill in creating a detailed and expressive composition. This small print, measuring 90 mm by 150 mm, was likely part of a larger series and was intended for a devotional audience. The print exemplifies Galle's contribution to the popular artistic genre of engraving in the early 17th century.
