Saint Luke, from The Four Evangelists 1650

Cornelis Visscher’s etching, *Saint Luke, from The Four Evangelists* (1650) depicts the Evangelist, Saint Luke, seated at a desk, writing in a book. Saint Luke is identified by a halo and is traditionally associated with the ox, which appears peeking over his shoulder. Visscher's detailed, Baroque style etching highlights the textures of Saint Luke's clothing and fur-trimmed cloak. This print from the *Four Evangelists* series is held in the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago.
