EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the timeless masterpiece titled "Saint John Evangelist Patmos evangelist John writing". Painted by Carlo Maratti (circle of) between 1680 and 1720, this oil on canvas artwork measures 109.5 cm in height, 83.3 cm in width, and has a depth of 3 cm. The scene depicted is truly awe-inspiring. In the heavenly realm of Patmos, we witness Saint John the Evangelist diligently writing with a pen held firmly in his right hand while clutching an open book with his left hand. An angel graciously presents him with an inkwell to aid his divine task. What makes this painting even more extraordinary is the presence of Mary standing triumphantly atop a seven-headed dragon, symbolizing her victory over evil. Her serene countenance radiates strength and grace as she watches over Saint John's sacred work. Intriguing details adorn the composition - two cherubic putti lovingly embrace each other in the foreground, representing innocence and purity. On the left side rests an eagle perched upon a book, signifying wisdom and enlightenment. Carlo Maratti's masterful brushstrokes bring life to this profound religious narrative, capturing both its spiritual essence and artistic brilliance. This print invites viewers into a world where faith intertwines with creativity, inspiring contemplation and reverence for centuries to come.
