# Luke the Evangelist [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [DOMENICHINO]() - Date: 1601-1650 - Technique: Fresco ## Commentary The picture shows Luke the Evangelist painted by Domenichino in one of the four pendentives of the choir. The uncommonly large surfaces of the cupola pendentives presented the painter with a special challenge, which he met by furnishing the evangelists, perched on clouds, with a rich figural apparatus and unusual iconographic additions. ## Related artworks - [A Triumphal Arch of Allegories]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Allegory of Agriculture, Astronomy and Architecture]() - [Apse calotte and antechoir vault]() - [Caritas]() - [Cupola vault]() - [Death of St Cecilia]() - [Diana and her Nymphs \(detail\)]() - [Diana and her Nymphs \(detail\)]() - [Diana and her Nymphs]() - [Doctors and Fathers of the Church]() - [Doctors and Fathers of the Church]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
