Apostel Johannes 1712 - 1786

This etching by Giovanni Marco Pitteri, created between 1712 and 1786, depicts the apostle John writing. John, the author of the Gospel of John, is shown in a contemplative pose, his head resting on his hand as he holds a quill in his other hand. The image, part of a series of engravings of biblical figures, showcases Pitteri's skill in capturing the essence of religious figures through detailed, expressive linework. "Sanctus Ioannes" is inscribed beneath the image, adding to its devotional aspect.
