EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Four Evangelists" from the rood-screen of Saint-Germain l Auxerrois in Paris. Created by the talented artist Jean Goujon between 1544-45, this stone relief panel is a true masterpiece of the Renaissance era. In this artwork, we see four distinct figures representing each of the evangelists: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each evangelist is accompanied by their symbolic animal counterpart - an angel for Matthew, a lion for Mark, an ox for Luke, and an eagle for John. These symbols have been used throughout history to represent these important biblical figures. The level of detail and craftsmanship in this piece is truly remarkable. The expressions on each face are carefully carved to convey a sense of devotion and wisdom. The intricate drapery adds depth and movement to the composition. Originally part of a larger rood screen at Saint-Germain l Auxerrois in Paris, this panel has now found its home at the Louvre Museum in France. It serves as a testament to Goujon's skill as well as his contribution to French art during this period. This print allows us to appreciate not only Goujon's artistic talent but also the rich symbolism associated with these revered religious figures. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power that art holds in capturing both beauty and spirituality across centuries.
