Saint John the Evangelist (Wautier)
Saint John the Evangelist is a painting by the Flemish artist Michaelina Wautier. It depicts Saint John the Evangelist carrying a chalice, an allusion to the legend that John survived the drinking of a chalice of poison as a demonstration of his faith. It was painted in the 1650s and is now part of a private collection in Italy.[1]
