EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Plate 4 of "Saint John with his head turned three-quarters to the left" from The Four Evangelists series, created by German artist Sebald Beham in 1541. In this engraving, Saint John is depicted as a male figure standing upright, holding a book in his right hand while an eagle rests at his feet. Sebald Beham's artistic movement during the 16th century shines through in this intricate portrayal of the biblical apostle. The attention to detail and precision in capturing Saint John's expression and posture showcase Beham's mastery of engraving techniques. The image evokes a sense of spirituality and reverence, reflecting the significance of Saint John as one of the four evangelists in Christianity. His connection with nature is symbolized by the presence of an eagle, often associated with divine inspiration. Displayed against a white background, this old master print exudes timeless elegance and serves as a testament to Beham's contribution to religious art during that period. It invites viewers to contemplate on themes such as faith, literature, and devotion. This print can be found at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) where it stands among other notable works from various artists throughout history. Its inclusion within their collection highlights its cultural importance and historical value for art enthusiasts worldwide.
