This anonymous engraving from the Netherlands, dated 1620-1623, depicts a scene of spiritual guidance. A winged angel points towards a heavenly vision, where God, represented by a dove, sits with two saints, encouraging the viewer to follow their example. The scene unfolds against a backdrop of a church and a landscape, suggesting that piety should be practiced in daily life. This artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the popular religious imagery of the Dutch Golden Age, using an illustrative style to convey a moral message.
