Johannes de Evangelist c. 1632 - 1682

This anonymous etching, "Johannes de Evangelist," depicts the apostle John, seated on clouds, holding a book and quill in his left hand while gazing upward with his right hand resting on his chin. The scene is likely inspired by John's vision of the book with seven seals in the Book of Revelation. The presence of a small cherub beneath John adds a celestial element to the composition, emphasizing the divine nature of the scene. This print is a testament to the enduring legacy of the apostle John and his biblical revelations, particularly the mystical experience detailed in Revelation.
