Saint John the Divine, seated at a small table and listening to the voice coming from Heaven, is dictating the beginning of the Gospel to his disciple Prochorus seated in a cave. The background represents the hills of the island of Patmos, where Saint John is said to have been exiled under Emperor Domitian.
