"The Angel Appearing to Gideon" is an art piece by celebrated Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn. Although the exact date of creation is unknown, it is believed to have been completed in the early mid-17th century, during the time Rembrand was living in Amsterdam.

Rendered in etching technique that Rembrandt had mastered, the piece depicts a pivotal moment from the Old Testament of the Bible, specifically, the Book of (6:11-27). The theme of divine intervention commonly found in religious artworks of the period is evident in this art piece. Here, Gideon, a military leader, judge and prophet in biblical history, is depicted threshing wheat when an angel appears before him. The angelic visitation signals Gideon's divine selection to lead the Israelites against the Midianites, an overwhelming task that Gideon initially resists due to self-doubt.

Rembrandt, renowned for his ability to create dramatic compositions, imbues this artwork with a profound emotional intensity. The rendering of light and dark, a hallmark of Rembrandt's style, is used to striking effect in this scene. The angel illuminating the humble setting underscores not just the surprise of the visit, but also the spiritual weight of the encounter. Further, the meticulous detail of the work, particularly in the expression and posture of Gideon, reveals the emotional complexity of the protagonist.

"The Angel Appearing to Gideon" is a remarkable demonstration of Rembrandt's creative genius, theological knowledge, and mastery of etching, serving as a lasting influence on religious-themed art that followed. Today, the piece is an important part of Rembrandt's body of work and is held in various art institutions globally.
