De prediking van Johannes de Doper, linkerpaneel van een drieluik 1557

"De prediking van Johannes de Doper, linkerpaneel van een drieluik" (The Preaching of John the Baptist, Left Panel of a Triptych) is a 1557 oil on panel painting by Jan van (II) Coninxloo, a Dutch artist of the Renaissance period. It depicts John the Baptist preaching to a crowd of people in a landscape setting. The scene is rich in detail, with a variety of figures, trees, and a distant horizon. The painting is a prime example of Coninxloo’s skillful handling of light and shade, as well as his attention to naturalism and the depiction of human emotion. The work originally formed part of a triptych, although the other two panels are currently lost.
