About Artwork: (ca. 1506–7) "This painting formed part of a series of possibly five panels illustrating the life of Saint John the Baptist, likely designed to decorate a room in a Florentine palace. Landscape and architecture throughout the cycle’s compositions frame and divide the individual scenes. Here, craggy rockfaces form a stagelike backdrop for John preaching in the wilderness. This “wilderness” includes a nearby farm and city beyond. The five panels are by more than one artist, a common practice in Florence at the time, employed for workshop efficiency. Some scholars have even proposed the contributions of the young Michelangelo, who was Granacci’s friend." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
