About this work
These four corner plates feature the symbols of the Four Evangelists: a winged lion (Mark), a winged ox (Luke), an eagle (John) and an angel (Matthew). The influence of printmaking – and specifically of Martin Schongauer – on other art forms is clear to see here. Slight differences notwithstanding, the maker was certainly inspired by either Schongauer’s engravings or copies thereof, or objects based on those prints.
