This etching, "The Angel Appears to Balaam," by Flemish artist Claes Moeyaert, depicts a biblical scene. The angel, with large wings and a sword, confronts Balaam, who is riding his donkey. This powerful and dramatic scene captures a moment of divine intervention, referencing the story of the prophet Balaam and his talking donkey from the Book of Numbers. The work is a testament to Moeyaert's skill in capturing movement and emotion through intricate lines and textures. It's a compelling piece that showcases the power of faith and the divine.
