EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a remarkable artwork titled "St John Evangelist 1650 Etching first state two" by Artokoloro. The etching, created after Adam Elsheimer, a renowned German artist from Frankfurt who worked in Rome during the late 16th and early 17th centuries, depicts St John in an intriguing setting. In this print, St John is portrayed turning towards the viewer while standing barefoot on a wooded hillside. The serene atmosphere is enhanced by the presence of a majestic tree towering behind him. With his hand raised in blessing, he exudes an aura of divine grace and wisdom. One striking element of this artwork is the snake emerging from a chalice held by St John. This symbolic representation alludes to biblical narratives where St John was said to have been unharmed after consuming poisoned wine as part of an attempt on his life. The attention to detail and intricate etching technique employed by Artokoloro bring this scene to life with stunning precision. Every line and shading contribute to the overall composition's harmony and visual impact. This print serves as both a testament to Artokoloro's artistic prowess and an opportunity for art enthusiasts to appreciate their interpretation of this timeless religious figure. It invites viewers into a world where spirituality meets masterful craftsmanship, leaving them captivated by its beauty for years to come.
