Lucas de evangelist schrijft zijn evangelie 1572 - 1575

This 16th-century engraving by Dutch artist Antoni van Leest depicts Saint Luke writing his Gospel. Saint Luke is seated and appears to be intently focused on his writing. A winged ox, the traditional symbol of Saint Luke, is positioned beneath his chair. The engraving showcases a skillful use of line and detail, creating a sense of depth and realism in the depiction of Saint Luke's figure and the surrounding environment. Van Leest's composition demonstrates his mastery of the engraving technique, particularly his use of light and shadow to achieve a heightened sense of realism. This artwork is a fine example of the religious art produced in the Netherlands during the Renaissance.
