Saint John the Baptist 1985

Maria Bozoky's 1985 watercolor painting "Saint John the Baptist" depicts the biblical figure in a dynamic pose, his hand raised in a gesture of preaching. The artist utilizes expressive brushstrokes and washes of color to convey both the physicality and spiritual significance of the subject, highlighting the emotional impact of the prophet's message. The background evokes the natural setting of John's ministry, with subtle details suggesting water and foliage. This piece exemplifies Bozoky's distinct style, characterized by a blend of realism and abstraction.
