Engel en heilige geest 1666 - 1707

"Engel en heilige geest" (Angel and Holy Ghost) is a 17th-century etching by the renowned Dutch artist Gérard Edelinck, dated between 1666 and 1707. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a central angel standing on a globe, reaching upwards toward a dove, symbolizing the Holy Ghost. Above, two cherubs hold open a book, possibly representing the Bible. The detailed, delicate lines of the etching create a sense of celestial wonder and spirituality. The artwork is a testament to Edelinck's mastery of the etching technique and his ability to capture religious themes with precision and beauty.
