"Les Quatre Évangélistes" is a notable work by Joachim von Sandrart (1606–1688), a German Baroque art historian and painter. This work, translating to "The Four Evangelists" in English, showcases Sandrart's adept skill in capturing the distinct personalities and symbols traditionally associated with the four authors of the Christian Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each evangelist is often depicted with their respective symbols, derived from the visions of Ezekiel and the Book of Revelation: an angel or man for Matthew, a lion for Mark, an ox for Luke, and an eagle for John. These symbols not only served as a means of identification but also as a way to impart deeper theological significance to their respective Gospels.

Sandrart's rendition of "Les Quatre Évangélistes" is a testament to his mastery of religious iconography and his ability to infuse his subjects with a sense of divine inspiration and solemnity. His work reflects the Baroque era's characteristic emphasis on emotion, movement, and the use of dramatic effects of light and shadow, which were intended to evoke a spiritual awe and devotion in the viewer. Sandrart, having traveled extensively in Italy and being influenced by the works of the Italian masters, brought back to Germany a refined understanding of the Baroque style, which he adeptly applied in his religious compositions.

While "Les Quatre Évangélistes" is a significant piece within Sandrart's oeuvre, it also contributes to the broader tradition of depicting the four evangelists in Christian art, a tradition that spans centuries and encompasses a variety of artistic styles and interpretations. Sandrart's work stands as a notable example of the Baroque period's contribution to this enduring legacy, demonstrating the era's unique approach to religious art and its capacity to convey profound spiritual messages through the power of visual imagery.

Joachim von Sandrart's contributions to art history, particularly through his comprehensive work "Teutsche Akademie der Edlen Bau-, Bild- und Mahlerey-Künste" (German Academy of the Noble Arts of Architecture, Sculpture, and Painting), further cement his status as a pivotal figure in the study and practice of art during the 17th century. "Les Quatre Évangélistes" not only showcases his technical skill and creative vision but also reflects his deep engagement with the religious and cultural currents of his time.
