Der Evangelist Lukas

Die Katholische Hofkirche, welche unter Kurfürst Friedrich August II. von Sachsen (genannt der Starke) durch Gaetano Chiaveri von 1739 bis 1755 im Stil des Barocks errichtet wurde zeichnet sich besonders durch ihren sehr reichen Skulpturenschmuck aus. So befinden sich an Ihrer Fassade und auf den Balustraden insgesammt 78 Heiligenstatuen. Erschaffen wurden sie von dem italienische Bildhauer Lorenzo Mattielli und den Dresdner Bildhauern Paul und Jakob Mayer, wobei der Hofbeichtvater Ignaz Guarini starken Einfluss auf die Gestaltung ausübte.
Neben dem Haupteingang, in entsprechenden Nischen,sind die vier Evangelisten dargestellt.
Auf der linken Seiteinks Johannes und Matthäus sowie auf der rechten Seite Markus und Lukas.

Hier der vierte und letzte Evangelist Lukas, dargestellt mit nach rechts gewandtem Kopf, in der rechten Hand eine Feder, den linke Arm lehnt auf einer Tafel gelehnt. An seiner Seite der Stier,
sein Evangelistensymbol und Attribut. Der Stier, machmal auch als geflügelter Stier dargestellt, steht als Opfertier und weist auf das Opfer Christi zur Erlösung der Menschen hin.

The Evangelist Luke

The Catholic Court Church, which was built under Elector Friedrich August II of Saxony (called the Strong) by Gaetano Chiaveri from 1739 to 1755 in the baroque style, is particularly distinguished by its very rich sculptural decoration. On the façade and on the balustrades there are 78 statues of saints in total. They were created by the Italian sculptor Lorenzo Mattielli and the Dresden sculptors Paul and Jakob Mayer, whereby the court confessor Ignaz Guarini exerted strong influence on the design.
Next to the main entrance, in corresponding niches, are the four evangelists.
On the left side John and Matthew and on the right side Mark and Luke.

Here the fourth and last Evangelist Luke, depicted with his head turned to the right, a feather in his right hand, his left arm leaning on a tablet. At his side the bull,
its evangelist symbol and attribute. The bull, sometimes also depicted as a winged bull, stands as a sacrificial animal and points to the sacrifice of Christ for the redemption of mankind.
