Vision of a Saint, The Virgin, Child and Angels appearing

This impressive work, painted on a very large copper plate is in excellent condition.  Van Herp made many religious works on copper, many of them destined for export to Spain.
The artist shows himself here as a very gifted painter but also an inventor of important compositions, a landscape painter and a great colourist. The landscape is quite "Rubenesque" but stylistically the painter  was clearly  influenced by Van Dyck rather than Rubens.
