EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by William Faithorne, we are transported back to the year 1657 as we witness a profound moment of contemplation. The subject is none other than St. John the Evangelist, depicted with an air of serenity and deep thoughtfulness. His gaze is fixed upon something beyond our view, his eyes filled with wisdom and introspection. Seated at a wooden desk adorned with intricate carvings, St. John appears engrossed in his work - writing fervently on parchment with a quill pen held delicately in his hand. The presence of an eagle perched nearby symbolizes the evangelist's connection to divine inspiration and spiritual insight. Every detail in this print exudes a sense of reverence for St. John's role as one of Christ's closest disciples and the author of one of the four Gospels. Faithorne masterfully captures not only the physical likeness but also the essence of this revered figure through his meticulous engravings. As we observe this image from Bridgeman Images' collection, we cannot help but be drawn into St. John's world - a world where faith intertwines with intellectual pursuit and devotion fuels profound reflection. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our own busy lives, taking moments for quiet contemplation can lead us closer to understanding ourselves and our place within the greater scheme of things. This remarkable print invites us to delve deeper into our own thoughts while paying homage to one who dedicated himself entirely to spreading love, compassion
