About the piece
Created around 1755, this painting by François Boucher exemplifies the Rococo master's skill with light and delicate color. The youthful figure of Saint John the Baptist is shown in a contemplative pose, surrounded by the traditional symbols of a lamb and a reed cross with an 'Agnus Dei' banner, while angelic cherubs peer through the foliage and clouds above.
