About the piece
Created in 1610, this late masterpiece by Caravaggio is a profound example of the artist's use of light and shadow. The composition features a youthful Saint John the Baptist emerging from the darkness through intense illumination, highlighted by the rich, voluminous red drapery that serves as the visual anchor of the piece.
