Mark, from The Four Evangelists 1610 - 1620

This etching, "Mark, from The Four Evangelists", was created by Pieter Feddes van Harlingen between 1610 and 1620. The print depicts the Evangelist Mark sitting with a book in his hand, surrounded by a landscape that includes a cityscape and a lion with a lamp in its mouth. The artist utilizes a detailed style to render the figures and the landscape, creating a realistic and dramatic scene. The artwork is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
