EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning detail of Stuco with symbols of the four evangelists, also known as tetramorph. The intricate carving depicts the angel representing Saint Matthew, the lion symbolizing Saint Mark, the bull embodying Saint Luke, and the eagle signifying Saint John. Created between 730-740 in Cividale's Battistero di San Callisto by an Italian School artist from the 8th century, this artwork is a testament to both religious devotion and artistic skill. The composition is centered around a circular shape, emphasizing unity and harmony among these significant figures in Christian tradition. Each symbol is meticulously carved with remarkable precision and attention to detail. The angel exudes gracefulness while holding a book or scroll that likely represents Matthew's Gospel. The powerful lion exudes strength and majesty as it stands tall beside its fellow evangelist symbols. The bull emanates stability and determination while gazing confidently ahead. Lastly, the eagle soars high above them all with its piercing gaze, representing spiritual insight. This print captures not only the beauty of these symbolic representations but also their profound significance within Catholicism. It serves as a reminder of faith's enduring power throughout history and invites contemplation on each evangelist's unique contribution to spreading Christianity's message worldwide.
