This engraving shows a fierce angel descending with a scroll, while a dragon waits below. The lines are sharp and detailed, almost like a storybook. You can almost feel the tension in the scene. Jean Duvet spent years on this series. Only seven full sets survive today. The work blends old religious tales with new artistic ideas. Want to see more like this?
