Saint John the Baptist

Giulio Campagnola

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a figure standing upright with long, wavy hair, a prominent nose, and visible cheekbones. They wear draped garments cinched at the waist, with one hand holding the edge of their garment and the other resting across their chest. The figure wears sandals and the background shows a pastoral landscape with trees, shrubs, and buildings, including a tower, set against a distant hill.
