This small, finely detailed engraving by German Renaissance artist Sebald Beham depicts Matthew and John the Evangelist, both important figures in the Christian faith. Created in 1520, the artwork showcases Beham's masterful use of line and shading to capture the naturalism of the figures' expressions and postures. This work is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection and exemplifies Beham's contributions to the tradition of printmaking.
