"Saint John The Baptist, Caravagesque Painter Circa 1620, Naples Or Rome"

The work depicts a melancholic or meditative Saint John the Baptist, a theme Caravaggio painted several times in dramatic chiaroscuro, with powerful modeling of the naturalistic flesh and restrained emotion. Our painting is attributable to a 17th-century Caravaggesque painter, dated 1620-30, such as Giovanni Battista Caracciolo (Battistello), Jusepe de Ribera, or a Roman follower of Manfredi. Having undergone a very long restoration, it exhibits a uniform, fine craquelure and a yellowing varnish, consistent with an early 17th-century painting.
