EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, Pierre Brebiette skillfully captures the essence of St. Mark, the evangelist who played a significant role in spreading Christianity during the 1st century. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he portrays St. Mark with a quill pen in hand, symbolizing his occupation as a writer and his contribution to religious texts. Brebiette's etching technique adds depth and texture to the image, giving it an almost lifelike quality. St. Mark's face exudes wisdom and serenity, reflecting his profound connection with spirituality. The presence of a majestic lion beside him further emphasizes St. Mark's significance within Christian iconography. As tradition holds that he wrote one of the four Gospels while accompanied by a lion in Egypt, this portrayal pays homage to that legend. This artwork not only showcases Brebiette's artistic talent but also serves as a testament to France's rich heritage in artistry and religious history. It now finds its home at the Metropolitan Museum of Art where visitors can admire its beauty firsthand. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of St. Mark’s enduring legacy as an evangelist and writer whose contributions continue to inspire people around the world today
