"L'Evangéliste Marc" is a miniature attributed to Facundus, a painter active around the 11th century. This work depicts a winged figure with a book in hand, a common iconographic representation of Saint Mark, the evangelist. The rich use of color and intricate patterns of gold and red are typical of Byzantine art, which dominated the artistic scene at the time. This miniature would have been part of a larger manuscript, likely a Bible or a book of Gospels, showcasing the importance of religious art and sacred texts in the medieval period.
