Engel geketend aan de wereld 1590 - 1624

This 17th-century engraving by Boëtius Adamsz. Bolswert titled *Engel geketend aan de wereld* depicts a dramatic scene of an angel chained to the world, reaching towards the heavens while a small figure stands below, representing earthly temptation. The etching, part of a larger series, is a fine example of Baroque art's fascination with the spiritual and the interplay between the earthly and the divine, a captivating example of religious art. The detailed engraving style, with its use of light and shadow, adds to the dramatic intensity of the scene.
