Vier evangelisten, Waarheid en Religie 1639

This engraving, "Vier evangelisten, Waarheid en Religie", created by an anonymous artist in 1639, depicts the four evangelists (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) in a circular composition. The evangelists are shown writing their gospels, each with their traditional symbol (an angel, a lion, an ox, and an eagle). The text surrounding the image is in Dutch, likely referencing the four gospels and their importance in Christian faith. This piece, with its detailed figures and intricate composition, showcases the artistic style of the 17th century.
