Sebald Beham’s print “John” depicts the apostle Saint John, traditionally believed to be the author of the Book of Revelation, as a winged figure holding an open book and standing on a pile of books. This piece reflects the high regard for the apostle in early Christian art, where his symbolic associations with an eagle, a book, and a chalice are often depicted. Beham, known for his detailed engravings, utilizes intricate lines and shading to create a sense of depth and realism.
