18th Century French Carved Oak Panel Of Saint John
Baroque style Panel in oak, France circa 1750-1800
Beautiful weathered oak panel representing Saint John the Evangelist.
Christian tradition says that John the Evangelist was John the Apostle. The Apostle John was one of the "pillars" of the Jerusalem church after Jesus' death. He was one of the original twelve apostles and is thought to be the only one to have not been killed for his faith. It had been believed that he was exiled (around AD 95) to the Aegean island of Patmos, where he wrote the Book of Revelation
Weathered and small losses, most likely it was once part of a larger panel.
France circa 1750-1800
Measurements include the wooden pedestal.
