Et vidi alium angelum fortem... (The Angel of the Apocalypse Appearing to Saint John) 1809 - 1810

Luigi Sabatelli's "Et vidi alium angelum fortem..." (The Angel of the Apocalypse Appearing to Saint John) is a dramatic black and white engraving depicting the biblical scene from the Book of Revelation, chapter 10. The work showcases Sabatelli's skill in capturing the awe and terror of the moment. An imposing angel with outstretched wings stands on the waves, a majestic figure of divine power. He holds a scroll and points towards the terrified Saint John, who kneels in prayer before him. This dramatic portrayal of a significant biblical event, with its dynamic composition and detailed imagery, is a powerful testament to Sabatelli's artistic abilities.
