Original Dimensions: 52 5/8" x 38"
Location: National Gallery of Art, London
About Artwork: (Early 17th century) "A young man reclines in a rocky landscape, filling a bowl with water spouting from a rock. With his naked torso he looks more like a classical god than a biblical figure, but this is Saint John the Baptist, a forerunner of Christ (whom he baptised). John lived as a hermit in the desert, preaching to and baptising the people of Judea and Jerusalem. This is clearly not first-century Palestine, however, and this is not a wild desert prophet. The saint’s nakedness, his recumbent pose and the cup he holds up all recall classical depictions of Bacchus, god of wine. Although no longer attributed to Annibale Carracci, the picture was probably painted by someone quite close to him, perhaps a direct pupil rather than just a follower." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
