"St. John the Evangelist in Patmos" is a notable woodcut created in 1508 by the German artist Hans Burgkmair the Elder. This work is part of a series that depicts scenes from the life of St. John the Evangelist, one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus and the author of the Gospel of John according to Christian tradition. The woodcut illustrates the moment when St. John receives divine inspiration to write the Book of Revelation while exiled on the Greek island of Patmos.

Burgkmair's woodcut is distinguished by its intricate detail and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume and three-dimensionality. This was an innovative approach in the early 16th century, particularly within the medium of woodcut prints. "St. John the Evangelist in Patmos" is a prime example of the Northern Renaissance, during which artists in Northern Europe, such as Burgkmair, were influenced by the Italian Renaissance but also developed their own distinct artistic styles and techniques.

Hans Burgkmair the Elder (1473–1531) was a prominent painter and printmaker based in Augsburg, Germany. He is known for his contributions to the development of the woodcut as a fine art form. His works often feature religious themes, and he was one of the first artists north of the Alps to experiment with incorporating tonal effects into woodcuts, a practice that would become more widespread among his contemporaries and successors.

The woodcut "St. John the Evangelist in Patmos" is held in high regard for its historical significance and artistic merit. It reflects the religious fervor of the time and provides insight into the early techniques of printmaking that were instrumental in the dissemination of art and ideas during the Renaissance. The piece remains an important artifact for the study of Northern Renaissance art and the evolution of printmaking in Europe.
