EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to a moment of divine intervention as the Messenger God appears before Joshua Ferdinand Bol. Painted by the talented Dutch artist Ferdinand Bol between 1640 and 1644, this artwork showcases his mastery of pen and brown ink, along with delicate touches of brown and gray wash. The scene unfolds with ethereal beauty, as the Messenger God emanates an otherworldly glow that bathes Joshua in its celestial light. With meticulous detail, Bol captures every nuance of emotion on Joshua's face - awe mixed with reverence and perhaps a hint of trepidation at being in the presence of such divine power. The use of red, white, and black chalk adds depth to the composition while subtly highlighting certain elements within the artwork. The careful balance between light and shadow creates a sense of drama that draws us further into this mystical encounter. Measuring approximately 27.1 × 19.5 cm (10 11/16 × 7 11/16 inches), this print is a testament to Bol's artistic prowess during the Dutch Golden Age. It serves as a reminder that even in our mortal existence, there are moments when we catch glimpses of something greater than ourselves - moments when heaven seems just within reach. This remarkable piece from Liszt Collection invites us to contemplate our own encounters with divinity and reminds us that sometimes it is through art that we can truly connect with the spiritual realm.
