Johannes Døberen i ørkenen 1500 - 1550

"Johannes Døberen i ørkenen" (John the Baptist in the Wilderness) is a 16th-century engraving by the Italian artist Antonio da Trento. The artwork depicts the biblical figure of John the Baptist, who is shown seated in a landscape setting, with a halo above his head. The figure is depicted with a strong, muscular physique, and his gaze is directed towards the viewer. This detailed engraving, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, highlights the artist's ability to create a powerful and realistic depiction of a religious figure. The piece measures 122 mm (height) x 109 mm (width), and the artist's initials "A" are visible in the lower right corner of the print.
