EDITORS COMMENTS
Master ES's engraving on laid paper from the 15th century, Saint John the Baptist in the Wilderness with the Lamb of God, is a captivating depiction of two significant biblical figures. In the foreground, John the Baptist, dressed in camel's hair and wearing a leather belt, stands in the arid wilderness, his hand raised in blessing as he gazes intently at the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, who approaches from the right. The Lamb, holding a cross in one hand and a flagellum in the other, symbolizes Jesus' impending sacrifice. Surrounding the central figures are the symbols of the four Evangelists and the four Fathers of the Church. An eagle, representing John, a lion for Mark, an ox for Luke, and a winged man for Matthew encircle the scene. The Fathers of the Church, depicted as older men with beards and robes, include St. Ambrose, St. Augustine, St. Jerome, and St. Gregory the Great. The intricately engraved details in this print showcase Master ES's exceptional artistic skill. The use of grey tones adds depth and texture to the image, making it a stunning addition to any art collection. This print is a testament to the rich heritage of Christian art and the enduring legacy of Master ES as a masterful artist of the 15th century. Located in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., this panel is a must-see for art enthusiasts, history buffs, and anyone interested in the religious art of the past. The circular shape of the print adds an element of wholeness and completeness to the image, making it a thought-provoking and visually appealing piece to display in any setting.
