"St. Mark and St. Luke, from the Godescale Gospel" is a medieval illuminated manuscript page, attributed to an anonymous artist, and dated approximately between 781 and 783 AD. This artwork is part of the Godescale Gospel, which is one of the earliest known manuscripts to combine text with a series of illuminations. The manuscript is named after Godescalc, a Frankish scribe and calligrapher who was commissioned by Charlemagne and his wife Hildegard to produce the book.

The page features the figures of St. Mark and St. Luke, two of the four evangelists, each accompanied by their traditional symbolic representations: the winged lion for Mark and the winged ox for Luke. The artwork is a fine example of the Carolingian Renaissance, a period of cultural and intellectual revival in Europe that took place during the reign of Charlemagne. The illumination reflects the fusion of Insular and classical art styles, which were prevalent during this era.

The Godescale Gospel is significant for its role in the development of Carolingian minuscule, a clear and legible script that was a precursor to many modern European typefaces. The manuscript not only showcases the religious fervor of the time but also the Carolingian commitment to the preservation and dissemination of knowledge.

The "St. Mark and St. Luke" page is an important artifact that provides insight into the artistry and craftsmanship of the early medieval period. It is a testament to the skill of anonymous artists who contributed to the rich tapestry of medieval art, and it remains an object of study for historians and art enthusiasts alike, offering a window into the spiritual and cultural life of the Carolingian Empire.
