Saint John the Baptist |

Description |
English: This elegantly elongated statue of St. John the Baptist shown in the act of baptizing was once placed in a holy-water stoup (basin), as can be seen from the greenish patina on the base caused by contact with water. The location was most likely a church in Venice or Genoa, where the sculptor worked. St. John foretold the coming of Christ and baptized him. The lamb is a symbol of Christ (who offered himself as a sacrifice in place of the traditional lamb).
The little cross-like punch marks on the strap that holds the fur are typical of the decoration on objects from the Roccatagliata workshop. The dark surface patina is characteristic of Venetian bronzes. |
