Saint John the Baptist in a Landscape 1600 - 1625

"Saint John the Baptist in a Landscape" is a drawing by Hans Stutte, dating from between 1600 and 1625. This detailed pen and wash drawing, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, shows St. John the Baptist seated in a landscape, holding a dish. The figure is depicted with a strong sense of naturalism, and the landscape is rendered with a sense of depth and detail. Stutte’s drawing is a beautiful example of the artist’s skill in capturing the human form and natural world.
