Evangelisten aan het werk 1566

"Evangelisten aan het werk" is a 1566 engraving by an anonymous artist depicting the four evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, seated around a table. The evangelists are traditionally associated with symbols, which are depicted alongside them in the artwork. Each evangelist is depicted as a man writing, with Matthew represented by an angel, Mark by a lion, Luke by an ox, and John by an eagle. This engraving is a typical example of Northern Renaissance printmaking, showcasing a meticulous attention to detail and a realistic portrayal of the figures and their surroundings. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
