De vier evangelisten 1642 - 1652

"De vier evangelisten" (The Four Evangelists) is an etching by Conrad Lauwers, created between 1642 and 1652. The artwork depicts the four evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, standing before a central figure of an angel holding a book. Each evangelist is depicted with their traditional symbol: Matthew with a winged man, Mark with a lion, Luke with an ox, and John with an eagle. This etching is a powerful representation of Christian faith and the importance of the Gospels in the Christian tradition. The central position of the angel holding a book highlights the importance of the word of God, as conveyed by the four evangelists.
