Saint John the Baptist Bearing Witness

Artist: Annibale Carracci (Italian, 1560–1609)

Date: c. 1600

Medium: Oil on copper

Collection: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, NY, United States

Description

Among his innovations, Annibale launched the vogue for landscapes in which nature was carefully studied but transformed by the imagination into an idyllic setting for religious or mythological stories. The main figure’s large almond eyes derive from the study of ancient sculpture. Annibale’s painting depicts John heralding the arrival of Christ, to whom he points and whom he will baptize the next day. This beautifully preserved oil on copper has been part of several illustrious collections, including the Farnese family’s in Parma and the Orléans collection in Paris.

The painting illustrates John 1:29-34. John sees Jesus approaching and cries out, “Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who taketh away the sin of the world.” The text then continues with John’s account of his vision of the dove when he baptizes of Jesus and his conclusion “that this is the Son of God” (John 1:34).

I have a plethora of photos I’ve taken at SLAM. This is by far one of the most intriguing museums I’ve ever set foot in. I’m excited to venture next door into Chicago, and have a day dedicated to some of the sights there too.

1. St. Helena and the Emperor Constantine

Presented to the Holy Trinity by the Virgin Mary, c. 1741-42 (Corrado Giaquinto)

2. An Italian Breastplate, c. 1570-75

3. Female Nude Supporting Two Heraldic Shields, debated who made this however the Museum suggests it was painted by Augustin Hirschvogel, and designed by Georg Pencz, c. 1500-1553

4. (From left to right)

- Langdebeve (Ox Tongue) Spear, c. 15th or early 16th Century

- Pollaxe (mazzapicchio) with the Arms of the City of Venice, c. Early 16th Century

- (unfortunately cannot remember or find the other weapons in this photo and the 6th)

5. The weapon behind me looks large, but it weighs around 8-9 pounds. The serrated edges were both for looks and for shredding through “objects.” (If only I could remember the name).

6. I was honestly shocked by this little hidden room on the bottom floor I get so overwhelmed at times.

7. Window Panel Fragment with Armored Saint, c. 15th century
