This drawing by Italian Baroque artist Giovanni Lanfranco depicts the four Evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, in adoration of the Host. The Evangelists are depicted as seated figures in the clouds, with a radiant light emanating from the Host. The drawing is characterized by Lanfranco’s mastery of light and shadow, which he learned from Caravaggio. The drawing is a preparatory study for a fresco that Lanfranco painted in the Church of San Giovanni in Laterano, Rome. The composition of the drawing shows Lanfranco’s skill in creating dynamic and expressive compositions. The use of white chalk on brown paper gives the drawing a distinct texture. The drawing is a testament to Lanfranco's skill and artistry, and it is an important example of his work.
