Evangelisterne Johannes og Lukas 1575 - 1640

"Evangelisterne Johannes og Lukas" is a pen and wash drawing created by Giovanni Mauro della Rovere between 1575 and 1640. The drawing depicts the Evangelists John and Luke. John is depicted with his traditional symbol of the eagle, while Luke is shown with a winged ox. This detailed drawing, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures the iconic imagery associated with these figures. The use of pen and wash allows for subtle variations in tone, creating a sense of depth and dimensionality. The artist's skill is evident in the depiction of the figures' drapery and the expressive details of their faces.
