Christ embracing Saint John the Baptist
Artist: Guido Reni (Italian, 1575 - 1642)
Original Dimensions: 19 1/8" x 27"
Location: National Gallery of Art, London
About Artwork: (About 1640) "This scene depicts an intimate moment between Christ and Saint John the Baptist, here identified by his camel-skin garment and reed cross. The pair are more frequently portrayed meeting as young children, in an episode drawn from biblical apocrypha, or during Christ’s baptism, which was performed by Saint John. Guido Reni has instead chosen to paint the youths embracing in a nondescript location. John clasps his hands reverently as he turns towards Christ, who looks back with a serene expression. The loose brushwork and pale, limited colour palette indicate that this work was painted late in the artist’s career. The figures are rendered in fluid, sweeping brushstrokes, and lack the finish and detail evident in earlier works. Reni’s late works typically represent devotional subjects in simplified, half-length compositions, as here." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
