EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, created by the renowned Dutch artist Lambert Suavius around 1545, depicts Saint John the Evangelist in a contemplative stance, surrounded by the symbols of his apostleship. The image is rendered in exquisite monochrome detail on laid paper, with the masterful use of pen and quill that was characteristic of the Sixteenth Century in the Low Countries. Saint John, dressed in the traditional robes of a Christian cleric, stands with a book in one hand and a quill pen in the other, symbolizing his role as the author of the apocalyptic Book of Revelation. Above his head, an eagle, a traditional symbol of John, soars majestically, its wings outstretched and its sharp gaze fixed on the saint. The background is a hauntingly beautiful scene of ruins, adding an air of mystery and contemplation to the image. The intricate details of the engraving, from the delicate feathers of the eagle to the textured fabric of the saint's robe, are a testament to Suavius's skill as an artist. The image, with its blend of religious symbolism and natural beauty, is a striking example of the artistic heritage of the Netherlands during the Sixteenth Century. This engraving is a treasured addition to any art collection, and its black and white tones add a timeless quality that makes it a popular choice for art enthusiasts and collectors. It is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
