The Apostles Delivered from Prison by an Angel

Galle employed fine lines and shading to convey depth and movement in the scene. The angel's gesture directs the apostles' gaze towards the open door, creating a sense of impending escape.

Philip Galle was a Dutch publisher and engraver active in Antwerp during the late sixteenth century. He collaborated with prominent artists and produced original designs, in addition to reproductive engravings like this one.
