EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Four Evangelists" from a facsimile copy of the renowned Book of Kells, originally published by Day & Son. Created by an anonymous Irish artist in the 9th century, this masterpiece is now held in Trinity College Library, Dublin. The image depicts four winged figures representing the evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each evangelist is accompanied by symbolic elements that have become synonymous with their identities. Matthew is depicted with an angelic figure while holding a book; Mark is represented by a lion; Luke stands alongside an ox; and John appears with an eagle. These intricate interlaced designs showcase the unique Celtic and Insular art style prevalent during this period. The attention to detail in this artwork is simply breathtaking - every line and curve meticulously crafted to create a harmonious composition. This print allows us to appreciate the skillful craftsmanship of these ancient artists who dedicated countless hours to produce such awe-inspiring works. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness the fusion of religious devotion and artistic excellence that defined medieval Ireland. It serves as a testament to both human creativity and spiritual reverence throughout history.
