About the piece
Painted around 1624 by the French Baroque master Simon Vouet, this work depicts an angel presenting the superscription from the Cross. The piece showcases Vouet's command of chiaroscuro, with light illuminating the figure's delicate features and the heavy, layered folds of their drapery against a shadowy, atmospheric background.
