This woodcut, *Icones historicae Veteris et Novi Testament* by Bernard Salomon, depicts Saint John the Evangelist seated in a landscape, writing in a book. The image is part of a larger work, a collection of woodcuts depicting scenes from the Bible. Created in 1681, the image is a characteristic example of Salomon's work. His intricate details and expressive figures convey a sense of realism and emotion. This work, like many of his other woodcuts, is a valuable historical document that reveals the artistic and cultural context of 16th-century Europe.
