De vier evangelistensymbolen 1455 - 1503

"De vier evangelistensymbolen" is a 15th-century engraving by Israhel van Meckenem, a prolific German printmaker. The print features a winged angel, one of the four symbols of the Evangelists, holding a scroll. The angel is rendered in a detailed and realistic style, typical of Northern Renaissance art, which favored meticulous observation and precise representation. This print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Van Meckenem's mastery of the engraving technique and his interest in religious themes, common in his oeuvre.
