EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "St John the Evangelist" by Matthias Stomer. Created between 1633 and 1639, this oil on canvas masterpiece is a true testament to Stomer's talent and attention to detail. The painting depicts St John the Evangelist, a male saint known for his significant role in spreading Christianity. Bathed in candlelight, he holds a goblet while gesturing towards an eagle symbolizing his connection with divine wisdom. The flame from the candle dances delicately, casting a warm glow that illuminates both his face and the surrounding space. Stomer's skillful brushwork brings life to every element of this composition - from the intricate folds of St John's robe to the subtle play of light and shadow. The artist masterfully captures not only physical likeness but also conveys spiritual depth through his subject's expression. Displayed at Musee des Beaux-Arts in Rennes, France, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and profound symbolism. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time, connecting with centuries-old devotion and spirituality. This remarkable piece reminds us of the power art possesses to transcend time and evoke emotions within us. It serves as a reminder that even after hundreds of years have passed since its creation, it still has the ability to inspire awe and admiration among those who appreciate fine art.
