The Four Evangelists is a 1567 oil by Joachim Beuckelaer, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.
The painting features four men, each with a book and quill, seated at a table. The man on the left is dressed in red, while the others wear earthy tones. A white bull's head is positioned in front of them, and a cherub stands to the left. The background is a classical architectural setting, complete with columns and a dove flying above. In the foreground, the men are surrounded by books and papers, with some pages open to reveal text. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation, with the men focused on their work.
