EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "St. Luke the Evangelist" by Jan van Bijlert or Bylert, a renowned Dutch artist from the Baroque period. The oil on canvas masterpiece measures 93.6x77.4 cm and is currently held in a private collection. In this painting, St. Luke is depicted with a warm smile as he sits at a table, engrossed in his work. His benevolent gaze reflects his deep connection to spirituality and devotion to spreading the teachings of the Gospel. The composition highlights various symbolic elements associated with St. Luke's role as an evangelist and author of one of the four Gospels in the New Testament. A cutting knife lies beside him, representing his ability to dissect and interpret biblical texts accurately. Stretched out before him is a book, symbolizing his authorship of the Gospel bearing his name. With great care and precision, he holds both a penknife and quill, ready to transcribe divine inspiration onto paper. A gentle ox stands nearby, another emblematic representation often associated with St. Luke's Gospel account that begins with Zacharias serving as priest in Jerusalem's temple – where sacrificial bulls were offered. This remarkable piece captures not only Van Bijlert or Bylert's exceptional talent but also pays homage to St. Luke’s significant contribution to Christian literature through its meticulous attention to detail and masterful use of light and shadow.
