This painting by Paolo Veronese, a prominent Venetian artist, depicts the traditional symbols of the Four Evangelists. The angel holds an open book, representing the Gospels. The lion represents Saint Mark, the ox represents Saint Luke, the eagle represents Saint John, and the winged man represents Saint Matthew. This artwork is an example of Veronese's mastery of depicting religious themes with a dramatic and emotive style, typical of the Venetian Renaissance.
