This illuminated manuscript page depicts Saint John the Evangelist, one of the four evangelists, traditionally associated with the symbol of the eagle. Created by the artist Facundus, who was active in the 11th century, this artwork exemplifies the vibrant colors and intricate designs characteristic of medieval manuscript illumination. The figure of Saint John stands prominently, holding an open book, while an eagle soars overhead, emphasizing his role as a writer of the Gospels. The use of decorative borders and a bold palette of colors create a visually captivating piece that would have been used in religious contexts.
