Visioen van Jesaja 1728

Gilliam van der Gouwen's 1728 etching, "Visioen van Jesaja," depicts a scene from the Book of Isaiah. The prophet Isaiah kneels in awe before a winged angel, whose wings nearly fill the composition. Above them, in a cloud, sits God on a throne, surrounded by angels. The use of light and shadow creates a dramatic effect, emphasizing the divine presence. The inscription beneath the image identifies the work as a "miraculous vision of Isaiah," reinforcing the work's connection to biblical imagery and religious themes.
