Description: | This is a nineteenth-century copy of the original by Sebastiano del Piombo in the Church of St John Crisostomo in Venice, painted around 1510. It is a third smaller than the original, however, with part of the composition cut off, possibly in order to focus more on the two Saints. The Baptist is represented in the usual manner; dressed in animal skins with a reed cross and holding a scroll with 'Agnus Dei' written upon it. St Crisostomo is seated to the left, writing, behind him is an unknown Saint, while the Saint in armour is though to be Liberale. | Subjects: | St John Crisostomo) religion; figure (St John the Baptist | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Sebastiano del Piombo (Italian painter and draftsman, born ca. 1485, died 1547) Æ After | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8597... | Go to resource |
