This landscape painting by Nicolas Poussin, a leading artist of the Baroque period, depicts the biblical figure of Saint John on the island of Patmos. The scene is set in a serene and idyllic landscape with rolling hills, verdant trees, and a distant view of a city. The artist uses a balanced composition, with Saint John positioned centrally, writing his revelations in the presence of an eagle, a symbol of his divine inspiration. This artwork is a testament to Poussin's masterful use of light, color, and detail, characteristic of the classical style he championed.
