About the piece
Painted around 1610 by Joachim Wtewael, this dramatic work depicts Saint Mark the Evangelist accompanied by his traditional symbolic lion. The painting is a masterclass in Dutch Mannerism, utilizing bold chiaroscuro and a rich red palette to create a sense of profound intellectual and spiritual depth.
