Saint John on Patmos
techniek: Oil on Oak, 63.0 x 43.2 cm
This work was part of a large altarpiece in Saint John’s Cathedral in ’s-Hertogenbosch and was probably the pendant of Madrid’s John the Baptist (Cat. 5), which originally had the same dimensions. Depicted here is John the Evangelist, the author of the Gospel of John and the Book of Revelation/the Apocalypse. John is shown on the Greek island of Patmos, where he received and recorded his vision of the End of Days. In accordance with iconographic tradition, John is portrayed writing. On the ground before him is an eagle - his attribute - and an inkwell with a pen case that refer to his work. During part of John’s vision he saw “a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars” (Revelation 12:1); Bosch has meticulously reproduced this passage. |  |
