Saint John on the Isle of Patmos

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man seated outdoors. He has a calm expression and short, neatly styled hair. He is wearing flowing robes and holds a rolled scroll. The background features rocks, trees, a building, water, and a cityscape. An angelic figure with wings blows a trumpet in the sky. The scene is detailed with movement in the clouds and water.
