EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning artwork of "Saint John the Baptist and Saint John the Evangelist" from the 15th century. Created by an anonymous artist known as Master with the Cologne Arms, this metalcut piece captures two significant figures in Christianity. In this full-length portrayal, both saints are depicted barefoot, emphasizing their humility and devotion to their faith. Saint John the Baptist is recognized by his traditional attributes such as a staff and a lamb, symbolizing his role as the precursor to Jesus Christ. On the other hand, Saint John the Evangelist holds a book representing his authorship of one of the four Gospels. The intricate details and skilled craftsmanship of this German medieval artwork are evident in every stroke. The first state of this print adds historical value to its already impressive artistic merit. Currently housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) in New York City, this print allows viewers to appreciate not only religious iconography but also cultural heritage from centuries ago. It serves as a reminder of how art has played an integral role in expressing religious beliefs throughout history. Without mentioning commercial use or any specific company associated with it, this image invites us into a world where spirituality meets artistic expression through masterful hands.
