EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "St Luke the Evangelist writing his gospel, c1808" is a remarkable portrayal of St Luke engaged in his sacred task. The image showcases St Luke, the Patron saint of artists and physicians, diligently penning down his gospel as described in the Bible (Luke 1.3). The engraving captures the essence of St Luke's devotion and commitment to spreading the teachings of Christianity through his writings. With a serene expression on his face and candlelight illuminating his work, he appears deeply engrossed in capturing divine inspiration onto parchment. Intriguingly, an Ox stands prominently in the right foreground - symbolizing St Luke himself. This animal has long been associated with him due to its connection with sacrifice and service. Its presence adds depth to this artwork by representing not only St Luke's role as an evangelist but also emphasizing that he was one who served faithfully. Created during the 19th century by an unknown artist named Ann Ronan Pictures, this monochrome piece exudes a sense of timelessness that transcends centuries. It beautifully encapsulates both religious fervor and artistic skill within its intricate details. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of St Luke's significant contribution to Christian faith but also of our own potential for creativity and healing - qualities embodied by both artists and physicians alike.
