The Angel in the Sun calling the Birds of Prey, from the Apocalypse. n. d
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing print that captures a moment of chaos and confusion. Created by Jean Duvet in the 18th century, this engraving showcases a scene from the Book of Revelation. In this image, an angel stands within an arched frame against a backdrop of what appears to be a battlefield. The sun radiates behind him as he raises his arms towards the sky, summoning birds of prey. The crowd below seems bewildered and frightened by this celestial spectacle. Duvet's meticulous attention to detail brings forth both religious and scientific elements into one composition. Symbolizing mankind's struggle between good and evil during times of war, this artwork reflects on themes such as religion, military conflict, and humanity's place in the universe. The contrast between light and dark enhances the dramatic effect while emphasizing key elements like the angel's figure against a white background. This Rococo-style print not only demonstrates Duvet's artistic skill but also serves as a testament to France's rich heritage. Displayed at The Met museum today, "The Angel in the Sun calling the Birds of Prey" continues to captivate viewers with its thought-provoking imagery. It invites contemplation about our own existence amidst turmoil while reminding us that art has always been intertwined with religion, science, and history.
