Engel met scapulier 1742 - 1746

"Engel met scapulier" is a black and white etching by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, created between 1742 and 1746. The etching depicts a winged angel dramatically descending from the sky, a dynamic composition characterized by strong diagonals. The angel's outstretched wings and flowing drapery create a sense of movement and energy. The angel's gaze is directed downwards, suggesting a moment of intense action. Tiepolo's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and volume, enhancing the dramatic impact of the scene. This work exemplifies the Rococo style, known for its lightness, elegance, and emphasis on decorative details.
