Vier evangelisten 1566

Philips Galle’s 1566 engraving, “Vier evangelisten,” depicts the four evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, seated at a table, each accompanied by a symbolic animal. The scene, a classic subject in Christian art, showcases Galle’s mastery of the printmaking technique, producing a detailed and highly expressive image. The work is held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
