Evangelista, the redeemer between the four evangelists, is a prominent figure in religious art and symbolism. Dating back to the 14th century, frescoes depicting this significant biblical character can be found in various churches and cathedrals. One such example is the stunning fresco titled "St Matthew the Evangelist, " painted around 1420. In this artwork, St Matthew is portrayed writing "Cum natus esset Yhesus, " capturing a pivotal moment in Christian history. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this piece bring to life the story of Jesus' birth. Another remarkable depiction can be seen in a fresco from 1679 showcasing St Matthew once again. This time, he stands as part of an ensemble that includes "The Ascension of Christ" on one side and "The resurrected Christ" on the other. These pieces serve as powerful reminders of faith and devotion. Moving away from frescoes, we encounter sculptures representing each evangelist's symbol. For instance, there is a captivating bronze lion symbolizing St Mark while a bull represents St Luke. Additionally, an angel made out of bronze serves as the emblem for St Matthew. In another breathtaking fresco dating back to around 1420, we find an exquisite portrayal of "St John Evangelist. " The artist pays meticulous attention to detail by highlighting his white beard and capturing him mid-writing with precision: "In principio erat Verbum. " Lastly, we have another fascinating detail captured within a fresco from approximately 1420 featuring "St Luke Evangelist. " Here we witness him writing "Missus est angelus Gabriel, " emphasizing his role in conveying divine messages. Throughout centuries-old artworks like these mentioned above - whether through paintings or sculptures - evangelista continues to inspire believers worldwide with their profound spiritual significance.
