Saint John the Baptist (Rome, Corsini)

This is one of two John the Baptists painted by Caravaggio in or around 1604 (possibly 1605). It is held in the Palazzo Corsini collection of the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica. Like the John done for Ottavio Costa, the figure has been stripped of identifying symbols - no belt, not even the "raiment of camel's hair", and the reed cross is only suggested. The background and surrounds have darkened even further, and again there is the sense of a story from which the viewer is excluded. ❤ 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺-𝗠𝗮𝗱𝗲:- Hand painted oil painting on canvas- Made to order- Various sizes available- Medium: Oil on canvas- Delivery available both roll in tube and stretched canvas option.- Custom Colours is also available- Delivery time: 7-14 day- Free shipping worldwide  With natural texture, vibrancy, and a sense of luxury a real oil painting makes a great original focal point in any environment.
