Saint John in the Desert
National Gallery of Ancient Art of Palazzo Corsini
This subject, which Caravaggio would approach several times during his career (Capitoline Museums, Galleria Doria Pamphilj, ecc.), shows a young John the Baptist in meditation. The scene is an occasion for the painter to show his characteristic talent: radiant light and heavily contrasting light made absolutely realistic.
