Evangelist Lucas / Evangelist Johannes c. 1595 - 1654

"Evangelist Lucas / Evangelist Johannes" is a pair of engravings by Zacharias Dolendo, created between 1595 and 1654. The prints depict the Evangelists Luke and John, each with their traditional symbol. Luke is shown with a bull, while John is depicted with an eagle. Both figures are seated at a table, engaged in writing. The engravings, measuring 195 mm x 145 mm, are now part of the Rijksmuseum collection. These works, representative of Dolendo's style, showcase the artist's attention to detail and skill in rendering light and shadow. They offer a glimpse into the artistic practices of the 16th century and provide insights into the iconography of the four Evangelists.
