St. John, from Christ, the Apostles and St. Paul with the Creed

A youthful, long-haired St. John looks upward in spiritual ecstasy, holding a chalice while a small bound book lies on the ledge before him. The engraving uses a distinctive swelling line technique to create volume in his robes and the rugged, mountainous landscape behind him. He is depicted in a moment of revelation, gesturing toward his chest as he gazes toward the heavens.

This print is part of a series where each apostle is paired with an article of the Apostles' Creed; John is assigned the passage regarding Christ's suffering and death. Within the esoteric tradition, St. John is revered as the author of the Book of Revelation and the fourth Gospel, making him the central figure of Johannine mysticism and the 'theologian' among the disciples.
