This painting shows an angel in the sun calling birds of prey. The artist spent years working on this series of engravings. He was one of the first major printmakers in France and worked mostly in a provincial city. You can learn more about the artist's techniques, like chiaroscuro, by looking at the work of other artists, but for now, check out the museum, The Cleveland Museum of Art.
