Two Evangelists
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning 15th-century altarpiece created by the renowned Italian artist Gherardo di Jacopo, also known as Gherardo Starnina or Jacopo Gherardo di. This masterpiece, dated around 1407, is currently housed in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The artwork depicts two full-length figures of evangelists, standing in a decorative border adorned with gold and colorful decoration. The evangelists, identified as Saint Mark and Saint Matthew, are shown holding their respective symbols - a lion and a book with a quill pen. The evangelists are depicted in a devotional scene, emphasizing the importance of the Bible and evangelism in Christian faith. The painting is a testament to the artistic achievements of the fifteenth century, showcasing the artist's skillful use of tempera on panel. The figures are rendered with intricate detail, from the folds of their robes to the expression on their faces. The evangelists' standing posture adds a sense of grandeur and importance to the scene. This artwork is a significant addition to any art center or gallery, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Europe during the late Middle Ages. The "Two Evangelists" is not only an impressive work of art but also a historical artifact, offering insights into the religious beliefs and artistic trends of the time. The painting's inclusion in the Rijksmuseum's collection is a testament to its enduring value and significance in the world of art and culture.
