Johannes de Evangelist met zijn volgelingen 1644 - 1665

"Johannes de Evangelist met zijn volgelingen" is an etching by the French artist Michel Dorigny, created between 1644 and 1665. This artwork depicts the biblical story of Saint John the Evangelist and his followers. The scene features a group of figures in a dramatic composition, with Saint John seated at the center while a man on horseback gestures towards him. The print utilizes strong chiaroscuro, a technique that creates the illusion of light and shadow, to enhance the sense of drama and depth. This etching is a prime example of Dorigny's mastery of line and his ability to convey the intensity of religious narratives.
