About Artwork: (About 1478) "Saint John the Evangelist holds a chalice from which a serpent escapes. He appears on the inside of the left shutter of a small triptych (a painting in three parts), the central panel and other wing of which are also in the National Gallery’s collection. They were painted for the Welsh nobleman and diplomat Sir John Donne, probably in the late 1470s. According to the apocryphal Acts of Saint John, the saint was made to drink poison but survived; the serpent here symbolises the poison. Although this figure of Saint John was presumably taken from a workshop pattern, infrared reflectograms show that the artist drew several versions of the hands and chalice before he was satisfied with them, and they were finally painted in slightly different position to any of the underdrawings. On the back of the panel Saint Anthony Abbot, a third-century hermit, is painted in grisaille (shades of black, white and grey) as if he is a statue in a niche." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
