PLATE ALIX.
THE FOUR EVANGELISTS.
Fig. 18. These singular examples of the Symbols and Persons of the Evangelists, with the “ wheels
full of eyes,” described in the Vision of Ezekiel, are in the original placed in a
circle round a representation of the Saviour. From a MS. of the Apocalypse executed
in Spain in the year 1109 (Brit. Mus.).
19. and 20. In a very different style are these examples of Sculpture of the Pisan School;
here we have noble figures of the Evangelists St. Mark and St. Luke, in their real
characters, with their emblems above them, instead of the grotesque forms in which
they often appear. (35.)
21. These universal Symbols are found in every position where the subject could be
introduced, and in all countries where Christian Art was exercised. These figures are
an English example from an ancient stone Cross, on which they were carved in
bas-relief, in the village of Hemsby, in Norfolk. (29.)
