About the piece
Painted in 1874 by Jozef Božetech Klemens, this oil on canvas depicts Saint John the Evangelist with his traditional attributes: the Gospel book, the poisoned chalice with a serpent, and the eagle. The work is defined by its luminous palette of rose and verdant green, set against a soft, atmospheric mountainous landscape characteristic of late 19th-century European religious art.
