De evangelist Johannes 1518

This engraving, "De evangelist Johannes" (The Evangelist John), is a work by Dutch artist Lucas van Leyden, created in 1518. The detailed artwork depicts John, traditionally associated with an eagle, seated and writing. The artist's characteristic use of fine lines creates a sense of realism and depth, enhancing the visual appeal of the engraving. The inclusion of a scroll with John's traditional symbol, the eagle, adds to the artwork's religious significance. This small-scale print is a testament to van Leyden's masterful skills in engraving and his ability to capture intricate details. It is now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
