Saint John the Baptist 

Jacob Jordaens' "Saint John the Baptist" depicts the biblical figure in a dramatic pose, his body partially draped in a red cloth and his gaze directed upwards. He holds a staff with a cross at the top, a common symbol of his role as a precursor to Jesus Christ. Jordaens, a prominent Flemish Baroque painter, was known for his dynamic compositions and expressive figures. The painting's strong sense of realism and dramatic lighting is characteristic of the Baroque style.
