EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century print depicts Saint John the Evangelist, one of the twelve apostles and the author of the Gospel of John and the Book of Revelation. The exact date of creation is uncertain, but it is believed to be around 1425-1435. The artist remains unknown, but the intricate details and high-quality execution suggest that this work originated from France during the fifteenth century. The image showcases Saint John as an elderly man, seated and dressed in the robes of a bishop. He is holding a large open book, believed to be the Gospel of John, with his left hand, while his right hand rests on a small book, which represents the Book of Revelation. The border of the print is adorned with a beautiful floral design, with gold leaf used to enhance the decorative elements. The calligraphy and illumination in this print are exceptional, with intricate lettering and illuminated initials adding to the overall beauty and significance of the work. The use of blue and gold colors adds a sense of grandeur and importance to the depiction of Saint John. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Christian faith and the artistic traditions of the fifteenth century. It is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, and its intricate details and historical significance make it a fascinating piece to study and appreciate.
