EDITORS COMMENTS
John Skippe's exquisite chiaroscuro woodcut from the 18th century, titled "Saint John the Evangelist," presents the venerated saint in deep contemplation, surrounded by symbols of his apostleship and the divine. The monochrome print, executed in tan and brown hues, showcases the artist's mastery of the chiaroscuro technique, creating a striking contrast between light and shadow that brings the image to life. Saint John, dressed in the traditional red robe and yellow mantle, is depicted as an elderly man with a serene expression, his eyes closed in prayer. He is shown seated on a rocky outcrop, with a bird of prey, believed to represent the eagle, perched beside him. This symbolizes the evangelist's role as the 'eagle of Patmos,' who was given the divine revelation. The influence of the Italian Renaissance master, Francesco Mazzola, also known as Parmigianino, is evident in this work. The composition, with its focus on the figure against a plain background, is reminiscent of the artist's style. The print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of both England and Italy during the 18th century. This beautiful and intricately detailed woodcut is now part of the collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art to connect us with the past and the spiritual.
