EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "H. John the Evangelist" showcases the artistic brilliance of Jan van de Velde II and Claes Jansz. Visscher II, two renowned artists from the 17th century. The image portrays Apostle John, known as the evangelist, with his distinctive attributes beautifully depicted. In this mesmerizing composition, Apostle John stands tall in a niche against a background of beaten ground. His presence exudes wisdom and serenity as he holds an open book in one hand while resting it on an inkwell. This symbolizes his role as a writer of one of the four Gospels. The attention to detail is remarkable as various elements associated with Apostle John are meticulously included. A cauldron and chalice snake represent his miraculous survival after being forced to drink poison by enemies who failed to harm him. An eagle perched nearby signifies divine inspiration that guided him while writing sacred texts. A palm branch held firmly in his grasp symbolizes victory over sin and death through faith in Christ's teachings. Additionally, a scroll lies at his feet, representing knowledge and revelation shared through scripture. Quint Lox's masterful photography captures every intricate aspect of this historical artwork from the Liszt Collection flawlessly, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty and significance anew.
