EDITORS COMMENTS
**Saint John the Baptist and Saint John the Evangelist with a Donor (1410)**
In this exquisite Gothic masterpiece, Spanish artist Joan Mates brings together two revered figures of Christianity - Saint John the Baptist and Saint John the Evangelist. The donor, likely a noble patron or devotee, is depicted kneeling in reverence before these apostolic giants.
Saint John the Baptist, dressed in his characteristic camel hair robe with leather belt and sandals (bare feet), gestures towards heaven as if pointing to divine revelation. His beard flows like golden silk down his chest, while his eyes radiate an otherworldly intensity.
On the opposite side of the composition stands Saint John the Evangelist, clad in a flowing blue tunic adorned with intricate gold embroidery. He holds a chalice and book, symbols of spiritual nourishment and divine wisdom. His gaze is cast downward, lost in contemplation as he drinks from his goblet.
The donor's hands are clasped together in prayerful supplication before the two saints, whose bodies seem to radiate an aura of serenity and devotion. The lamb at their feet serves as a reminder of Christ's sacrifice and redemption.
This stunning work of art, created around 1410, is a testament to Joan Mates' skill as an artist during Spain's Golden Age. It now resides in the esteemed Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza collection, where it continues to inspire awe and devotion in all who behold its beauty.
