COMMENTS: A late 18th century round oil painting depicting the Apostle St. John. He is shown writing in a book and to his left is an eagle. St. John is the patron saint of love, loyalty, friendships, and authors. He is often depicted in art as the author of the Gospel with an eagle, symbolizing "the height he rose to in his gospel." In other icons, he is shown looking up into heaven and dictating his Gospel to his disciple.
