"St. John The Evangelist" is an engraving created by the renowned Flemish artist Crispijn I de Passe, also known as Crispijn van de Passe the Elder. Born in 1564 in Arnemuiden, de Passe was a prominent figure in the world of printmaking during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. He was part of a prolific family of engravers and printmakers, and his works are celebrated for their intricate detail and technical mastery.

The engraving of St. John The Evangelist is a testament to de Passe's skill and his ability to convey religious themes with profound depth and clarity. St. John, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus and traditionally considered the author of the Gospel of John, the Epistles of John, and the Book of Revelation, is depicted with the attributes commonly associated with him, such as the eagle, which symbolizes his high-soaring theological insight.

De Passe's engraving captures St. John in a moment of divine inspiration, often portrayed with a quill and a book or scroll, signifying his contributions to the New Testament. The meticulous lines and shading techniques used by de Passe bring a sense of realism and texture to the work, highlighting the saint's contemplative expression and the flowing drapery of his robes.

This piece is part of a larger body of religious works by de Passe, who was known for his ability to produce prints that were both artistically impressive and accessible to a wide audience. His engravings were widely distributed and played a significant role in the dissemination of religious imagery during the Counter-Reformation.

"St. John The Evangelist" not only exemplifies de Passe's technical prowess but also reflects the broader cultural and religious milieu of his time. The work remains an important example of early modern printmaking and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
