EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the Symbols of the Four Evangelists, a masterpiece from the 15th century, specifically between 1400 and 1404. The creator of this artwork remains unknown, but it is known to have been part of the "Tafel van den Kersten Ghelove" (Handbook of the Christian Faith) by Dirc van Delf, a Dutch Dominican theologian. This encyclopedia was written for a lay audience in Middle Dutch, making it an essential resource for understanding scholastic theology during the Middle Aages in the Netherlands and Europe. The intricately designed page features the symbols associated with each of the Four Evangelists: St. Matthew represented by a winged man, St. Mark by a lion, St. Luke by a winged ox or bull, and St. John by an eagle. These symbols are depicted in a stunning combination of gold leaf, ink, and pigments on parchment, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship of the time. The use of gold and color adds a regal and sacred touch to the artwork, while the blackletter script and scrolls further emphasize the religious and mythological significance of the symbols. The mythical beasts – a lion, an eagle, and a bull – are rendered with remarkable detail and grace, making this piece a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the Middle Ages. This image is a valuable reminder of the profound impact of Christian mythology and theology on the art and literature of the Middle Ages, and serves as an enduring symbol of the religious and intellectual traditions of Europe and the Netherlands during this period.
