Saint Mark the Evangelist
EDITORS COMMENTS
, a captivating print of an elderly bearded figure leaning on his elbow and gazing away into the distance. This stunning piece was created in 1655 by renowned Italian artist, Carlo Maratti (1625-1713). The Baroque-era masterpiece showcases Saint Mark's introspective demeanor as he contemplates the sacred scriptures.
In this powerful portrait, Maratti masterfully captures the essence of Christianity through his depiction of one of its most revered figures. With a subtle yet profound expression on his face, Saint Mark appears lost in thought, surrounded by symbols of his profession - an inkpot and quill pen at hand's reach. The majestic lion at his feet serves as a reminder to the viewer that this is not just any ordinary portrait but one that holds deep spiritual significance.
The artist's use of oil on canvas brings forth a rich tapestry of colors, with Saint Mark's blue robes standing out against the warm beige background. Maratti's skillful brushstrokes and attention to detail result in an incredibly lifelike portrayal, as if the saint has stepped straight from his biblical scene into our world.
This print is part of Heritage Images' extensive collection of art pieces that span centuries and continents. It now resides at the esteemed Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, Spain - a testament to its enduring value and significance as an iconic representation of Christian heritage.
