Two Evangelists

Gherardo Starnina's Two Evangelists, painted around 1407, depicts a pair of Gospel writers from what was likely a larger altarpiece ensemble. Starnina's treatment of these sacred authors reflects the International Gothic emphasis on decorative elegance and refined surface pattern Egg tempera on panel was the dominant technique of the period, demanding careful layer-by-layer construction and patient craftsmanship The work is now in the collection of Munich Central Collecting Point.

The evangelists are rendered with their traditional attributes and writing instruments, painted in Starnina's characteristic blend of linear elegance and emerging Florentine naturalism.
