EDITORS COMMENTS
**Saint John the Evangelist in Patmos (1470)**
In this exquisite print from 1470, Italian artist Cosmè Tura masterfully captures the essence of Saint John the Evangelist's legendary exile on the island of Patmos. Depicted as a bearded and contemplative figure, St. John sits barefooted amidst desolate surroundings, his eyes gazing upwards in deep thought.
The apostle is dressed in simple yet elegant attire, with a blue cloak draped over his shoulders and a hat resting atop his head. His right hand rests on the chin of an open book, symbolizing his role as author of the Book of Revelation. A majestic eagle perched upon a nearby rock serves as a poignant reminder of St. John's prophetic visions.
Tura's use of rich colors and subtle shading creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer into the mystical world he has conjured. This stunning print not only pays homage to one of Christianity's most revered figures but also showcases Tura's exceptional skill as an artist during Italy's 15th-century Renaissance.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to a moment when art and faith converged, creating a masterpiece that continues to inspire and awe us today.
