Heilige Johannes de Evangelist c. 1520 - 1550

This small etching, "Heilige Johannes de Evangelist" (Saint John the Evangelist), created by Antonio da Trento between 1520 and 1550, depicts the apostle John holding a chalice with a serpent emerging from it, a common symbol representing his victory over poison. The detailed lines of the etching capture the intensity of the scene, with a bright sun illuminating the figure of John against a light background. The use of shading and light enhances the composition, contributing to the overall visual effect of the etching.
