St. John the Evangelist

This is an alabaster statue made by Hendrik de Keyser in the Netherlands. This figure is normally displayed on the roodloft from the Cathedral of 's-Hertogenbosch (Bois-le-Duc), beneath which it now stands. It is known to have been sculpted by one of the greatest Netherlandish sculptors of the early 17th century (the rest of the ensemble was probably made in the workshop of Coenraed van Norenberch).
