Around 1595 -1614 · Desert, lamb and prophecy
John alone, Valencia version, dialogue with the Evangelist and meeting with Francis of Assisi show the Precursor between asceticism, announcement and community of saints.
In the Saint John the Baptist of El Greco, the extremely elongated body stands out from a rocky landscape and a moving sky. The camel skin, the reed cross and the lamb designate the one who announces Christ. Slimming is not a naturalistic anatomical study: it reflects fasting, desert and spiritual tension. Valencia's version allows us to observe how the same type changes through color and framing. The Valencia version allows us to observe how the same type changes through color and framing. The Valencia version allows us to observe how the same type changes through color and framing. Associations with John the Evangelist or Francis of Assisi create dialogues outside of historical time, based on testimony, penance and contemplation. Toledo sometimes appears in the distance, bringing the Holy Land of Spain closer to the viewer. The "Saint" selection Jean-Baptiste by El Greco" notably compares Saint Jean-Baptiste and Saint Jean Baptiste, Valencia. His reading favors figures.
The John the Baptist of El Greco is a body that has become a direction: his cross, his arm and his gaze direct towards the one he announces.
