Evangelist Lucas 1578

"Evangelist Lucas" is an engraving by Abraham de Bruyn, created in 1578. The artwork depicts Saint Luke, the patron saint of artists, seated with a bull at his feet. The composition is typical of Renaissance-era depictions of evangelists, with the artist's symbol—the ox—representing Saint Luke's strong faith and connection to Christ. The intricate detail of the engraving showcases de Bruyn's skill in creating a realistic and compelling portrayal of the biblical figure. The image is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the 16th century, and it remains a popular subject of study and admiration for art enthusiasts today.
