EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, we are presented with a timeless depiction of Saint Luke, the renowned evangelist and author of one of the four Gospels in the Bible. Created by Lucas van Leyden around 1508 during the Northern Renaissance period, this print showcases the artist's exceptional skill and attention to detail. Saint Luke is portrayed as a mature man engrossed in his sacred task of writing. With utmost concentration, he delicately holds a quill pen in his hand while carefully inscribing words onto parchment pages. The presence of an open book beside him signifies his role as an author and emphasizes his commitment to spreading the teachings of Christianity through his Gospel. An intriguing element within this composition is the inclusion of an ox or bull standing behind Saint Luke. This animal symbolizes strength and sacrifice, further emphasizing Luke's dedication to faithfully recording biblical events for future generations. The fine lines and intricate shading techniques employed by Leyden bring depth and texture to every aspect of this engraving. From Saint Luke's serene expression to each strand of hair on his head, no detail is overlooked. Now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago as part of their esteemed collection, this remarkable artwork continues to inspire viewers with its masterful craftsmanship and profound spiritual significance. Gifted by Robert P. Lamont, it serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and religious devotion that transcends time itself.
