Description
English: The Evangelists are seated together at a table, each engaged in the writing of his Gospel. Matthew’s attribute is an angel, Mark’s a lion. John looks heavenward for inspiration, as his eagle swoops down carrying an inkpot. Except for John, these are rustic elderly men with strongly individualised features. Charged with energy from their animated poses, their hyper-naturalistic presence, coupled with the dramatic illumination, convey a sense of spiritual intensity.
Svenska: Evangelisterna sitter tillsammans vid ett bord, var och en upptagen med att nedteckna sitt evangelium. Matteus avbildas med sitt vanliga attribut, en ängel, och Markus med sitt lejon. Johannes blickar mot himlen för inspiration, medan hans örn sveper ned med ett bläckhorn i näbben. Med undantag för Johannes, gestaltas evangelisterna som äldre män med starkt individualiserade anletsdrag. De realistiska figurerna och den dramatiska belysningen bidrar till den djupt andliga stämningen.
