Saint Mark
Saint Mark is shown with his emblem, a lion, as though interrupted in his dim study by the viewer, to whom he makes a beseeching gesture. This model, too, reappears in other paintings by the artist (including Last Supper, in this gallery). Together with Saint Matthew, on view here, and two companion pictures of the other evangelists, this painting—cleaned for the exhibition—was chosen by Louis XIV to decorate his chamber at Versailles, which it still does; it has been lent exceptionally.
