"Saint Mark, from The Four Evangelists" is an etching by Dutch artist Cornelis Visscher, dating to 1650. The print depicts Saint Mark, traditionally associated with the lion, who is partially visible on the left side of the composition. Saint Mark is portrayed with a halo, an attribute signifying his sainthood, and is seated at a table, gesturing with his left hand. This artwork is a part of a series of four prints dedicated to the Evangelists, and it is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago.
