About the piece
Attributed to Ferdinand Bol, a notable pupil of Rembrandt, this 1650 oil painting depicts a poignant biblical encounter. The composition employs a dramatic use of light and shadow to highlight the figures of the angel and the prophet against a moody, deep-toned landscape, characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age.
