Samuel Bernard's etching "Ontmoeting tussen paus Leo I de Grote en Attila de Hun" (1625-1657) depicts a pivotal moment in history: the meeting of Pope Leo I and Attila the Hun, leader of the Huns. Bernard’s piece captures the dramatic meeting, with Pope Leo, accompanied by his entourage, confronting Attila and his army. An angel descends from the heavens, a symbol of divine intervention. The artwork, housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a powerful example of 17th-century European history painting, employing dramatic composition and intricate detail.
