Roundel with Saint John the Baptist 1520 - 1932

"Roundel with Saint John the Baptist" is a stained glass roundel created by Pseudo-Ortkens, a Flemish artist active in the first half of the 16th century. The artwork, housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, depicts Saint John the Baptist standing in a landscape holding a lamb and a book. This roundel, with its muted color palette and delicate brushwork, exemplifies the artistic style prevalent in the region during that period. This artwork is a prime example of stained glass roundel from the 16th century, with meticulous detail and a sense of religious devotion.
