About the Item
Etching on paper, realized in the early 17th Century.
Dramatic apocalyptic engraving illustrating the vision from the Book of Revelation, Chapter 16, depicting the angels pouring the seven vials of divine wrath upon the earth, the sea, the rivers, the sun, and the kingdoms of men. The composition is animated by a dense narrative structure: winged angels descend from the heavens releasing the vials, while humanity below is struck by chaos, suffering, and destruction.
At left, a monstrous allegorical creature—symbol of demonic forces—anchors the scene, while soldiers and crowned figures at right observe the unfolding catastrophe. In the distance, collapsing landscapes, boiling waters, and fleeing figures reinforce the sense of universal judgment. The sun radiates ominously from above, emphasizing divine intervention and cosmic order overturned.
Rendered with vigorous line work and strong contrasts, the engraving exemplifies the Baroque fascination with biblical drama, moral warning, and theatrical composition. The explanatory text below the image references the scriptural source (Apoc. cap. 16), anchoring the imagery firmly within theological tradition.
Good impression with clear details; light toning and age-related wear consistent with early impressions
