About the piece
Painted around 1644, this work by the Genoese master Bernardo Strozzi captures the dramatic intensity of the Baroque period. The composition focuses on the interaction between St. John and his audience, highlighted by rich reds and Strozzi's characteristic loose, energetic brushwork that gives the skin and textiles a luminous quality.
