Three angels carrying Gideon's fleece; from 'Recueil d'estampes d'après les plus beaux tableaux et d'après les plus beaux desseins qui sont en France, Cabinet Crozat' after a drawing by Orazi 1724 - 1769

This etching by Anne Claude Philippe Caylus, titled "Three Angels Carrying Gideon's Fleece," depicts a scene from the biblical story of Gideon. The three angels are shown carrying a fleece, a symbol of divine intervention, against a backdrop of clouds. The print, created between 1724 and 1769, is a reproduction of a drawing by Orazi, and is an example of the rococo style, a French artistic movement characterized by its ornate and playful motifs. The print is a testament to the artistic ingenuity and skill of Caylus, who was a noted collector and connoisseur of art. Caylus's "Three Angels Carrying Gideon's Fleece" is a visually striking and historically significant artwork.
