Genius van de wereld before 1467

"Genius van de wereld" is an anonymous engraving from before 1467. This small-scale work, measuring only 182 mm in height and 102 mm in width, depicts a winged figure with a halo, standing in a grove of trees. The figure, likely an angel, holds a sphere, possibly representing the world, in their left hand. This artwork, likely created for devotional purposes, is a testament to the artistic skill of anonymous artists during the 15th century. The delicate lines of the engraving, the detailed depiction of the figure, and the suggestive nature of the imagery contribute to the power of this artwork, despite its small size.
