About the piece
Attributed to Francesco Cozza, this dramatic portrait of Saint John the Baptist captures the intensity of the subject through the mastery of chiaroscuro. The figure emerges from a dark background, highlighted by a focused light source that emphasizes the textures of the skin and the rich folds of the red drapery.
