Annunciatie 1719 - 1727

This etching, titled "Annunciatie," was created by Johann Christoph Steinberger between 1719 and 1727, the year of his death. The artwork depicts the Annunciation, a pivotal moment in Christian belief where the angel Gabriel appears to the Virgin Mary to inform her that she will bear the Son of God. The scene is framed within an ornate architectural structure, highlighting the significance of the event. Steinberger's meticulous detail and masterful use of light and shadow are evident in this composition. The etching is currently held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
