Saint John the Evangelist is a beardless young man who appears in several scenes from the life of Jesus. In the scene of the Crucifixion, according to the account he gives (John, XIX, 26-27), he stands like the Virgin at the foot of the cross. The theme underwent considerable development in the 15th century. This beautifully crafted sculpture of a wooden Saint John enhanced by his polychromy is an isolated element of a Calvary, placed at the bottom right of the Cross.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With his head slightly raised to the left, he looks upwards. The saint’s youthful face with its gentle and kind expression reveals a contained sadness. Mid-length hair with curly ends frames his face. More than the pain felt because of the deceased Christ, he expresses hope in prayer.<\/p>\n

He stands, barefoot, dressed in a tunic with wide sleeves and a cloak like a cape with one side hanging down the front.<\/p>\n

The drapery work is particularly well-crafted. Indeed, the supple movement of the coat presents a harmonious superposition of wide, hollow, broken folds, which contrast with the straight folds of the tunic underneath.<\/p>\n

As iconographic tradition dictates, Saint John holds the Holy Book, his biblical attribute, in his left hand, and a handkerchief in his right hand.<\/p>\n
