EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the exquisite artwork of Joachim Wtewael, showcasing the half-figure of Saint Luke, known as the Evangelist. Painted between 1610 and 1615, this masterpiece is a testament to Wtewael's skill in oil painting on canvas. In the image, we see Saint Luke engrossed in his writing, diligently recording his gospel. The artist has beautifully depicted every detail of his focused expression and delicate hand movements as he inscribes words onto parchment. The background adds depth to the composition with symbolic elements on either side of Saint Luke. On the left, we notice a striking depiction of a bull's head—an emblematic representation often associated with Saint Luke himself. It serves as a reminder that he was one of four evangelists who wrote about Jesus' life and teachings. On the right side stands an intricately woven basket holding a jug—a subtle yet significant inclusion by Wtewael. This symbolizes abundance and nourishment, perhaps alluding to both spiritual sustenance found within Saint Luke's writings and physical sustenance provided through faith. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate not only Wtewael's artistic prowess but also gain insight into how religious figures were portrayed during this period. It serves as a window into history while preserving an extraordinary piece for generations to come.
