EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Plate 2 of "Saint Mark, his head turned in profile to the left" from The Four Evangelists series by Sebald Beham. Created in 1541 during the 16th century, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of Saint Mark, one of Christianity's revered figures. In this image, we see Saint Mark standing tall with an open book held firmly in his right hand. His gaze is fixed towards the left as he contemplates profound wisdom within the pages before him. At his feet rests a majestic lion, symbolizing courage and strength. Sebald Beham's artistic movement shines through in this masterpiece as he skillfully portrays every intricate detail with precision. The use of black and white adds a timeless quality to the artwork while emphasizing its dramatic impact. As we delve into this historical piece, we are transported back to Germany where Beham hailed from. This engraving not only represents religious devotion but also serves as a testament to German heritage art. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this old master print continues to captivate viewers with its powerful portrayal of faith and literature intertwined. It stands as a reminder that art has the ability to transcend time and connect us with our spiritual roots.
