Heiligen en engelen 1800 - 1833

"Heiligen en engelen" is a set of 18 vignettes depicting saints and angels created by Philippus Jacobus Brepols between 1800 and 1833. The artwork is housed in the Rijksmuseum, and features a collection of hexagonal illustrations, each portraying a different religious figure. The vignettes are rendered in a distinct style of hand-colored etching, combining linework with touches of vibrant color. This work offers a glimpse into the devotional practices and artistic techniques popular in the early 19th century, particularly in the Netherlands.
