Apostel en vier engelen 1609 - 1660

This etching, "Apostel en vier engelen," created between 1609 and 1660 by Italian artist Giovanni Battista Vanni, depicts a scene with an apostle and four angels. The artist's detailed, expressive lines capture the figures' dramatic poses and flowing drapery. The composition is balanced and harmonious, drawing the viewer's eye across the scene. Vanni's style, influenced by the late Renaissance and Mannerism, combines anatomical precision with heightened emotion, contributing to the work's dynamism and visual impact. This piece is a testament to Vanni's mastery of etching and his ability to convey both physical form and spiritual fervor in his art.
