About the piece
Painted around 1621 by the Italian Baroque master Domenichino, this work captures Saint John the Evangelist in a state of celestial contemplation. Draped in a striking crimson cloak, the saint is surrounded by his traditional symbols—the eagle and the gospel—while playful putti assist in holding his heavy volumes against a serene distant landscape.
