H. Marcus 1629

"H. Marcus" is an etching by Lucas Kilian from 1629, depicting the apostle and evangelist Saint Mark. This detailed engraving shows Saint Mark in a moment of quiet contemplation, his hands resting on an open book, likely his gospel. The inscription encircling the scene, in Latin, recounts the history of Saint Mark, specifically his martyrdom. This image is a fine example of the detail and skill typical of the Baroque engraving style, which flourished in 17th-century Europe.
