We see John enter the wilderness to live as a hermit, foretell Christ’s role as redeemer, be imprisoned, and finally be martyred at the request of Salomé, the step-daughter of King Herod. The artist, Giovanni di Paolo, represented figures multiple times to indicate their movement through highly imaginative and stylized settings.

fjdgylucientes Winter Scene, oil on canvas. Two groups of working-class travelers, one with a slaughtered pig in tow, converge on an icy road during a snowstorm. Goya captured the scene’s wintry atmosphere with barren trees, large swaths of cool grays and whites, and diagonal brushstrokes that convey rapid snowfall. This painting is one of a series of studies Goya created for monumental tapestries depicting the four seasons, commissioned for a dining hall at the Royal Palace of El Pardo in Spain.
