EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "St John on Patmos, 1865-1866" takes us back to the ancient island of Patmos in the Aegean Sea. Here we see St John the Evangelist, depicted as a wise and contemplative man, sitting in exile imposed by the Roman emperor Domitian. It is believed that it was during this time that he wrote the Book of Revelations, one of the most significant texts in Christian scripture. The wood engraving beautifully captures St John's solemnity and devotion as he sits dressed in his flowing robe. His eyes seem deep with wisdom and spiritual insight, reflecting his role as an apostle and evangelist. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this nineteenth-century artwork. The intricate details created through wood engraving give depth to every line and contour of St John's figure. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported not only to a specific moment in history but also into the realm of faith and spirituality. This print serves as a visual reminder of St John's profound influence on Christianity through his writings and teachings. Created by an unknown artist under the guidance of inspiration from St John himself, this print holds immense historical significance for those interested in biblical studies or religious art. It stands as a testament to both artistic skill and religious devotion throughout centuries past.
