18th Century Italian "Young John the Baptist" Framed in a Fluorite & Gold Frame
About the Item
18th century Italian "Young John the Baptist" painting framed with purple and yellow fluorite. The painting original came from Tuscany and depicts him as a young man with a lamb. This is a famous depiction of Saint John the Baptist. His portrait with a lamb symbolizes the passage in the Bible when John baptized Jesus in the River Jordan he says, "Behold, the Lamb of God" (John 1: 36).
The piece is transformed by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture and period shows that the Italian painting is originally 18th century. The original frame is adorned and framed with purple and yellow fluorite and gold powders that were used by artists to decorate and paint objects in the church. The minerals compliment the colors of the painting.
Together, the mineralized painting creates a historic and organic work of art.

- Rare 18th C Wooden Statue of St. John the BaptistLocated in Chicago, ILThis exceptionally life-like antique sculpture is carved from linden wood and once decorated a French church or cathedral. The figure stands authoritatively, with right arm raised and index finger extended toward heaven. It probably stood on a base in a side chapel. According to Christian iconography of the period, this gesture signifies that salvation comes only through baptism. The figure wears a girdle of animal fir, probably from a bear, making symbolic reference to St. John the Baptist's life in the wilderness of Judea, between Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. The elegantly carved robe is a baroque element that adds a sense of motion and energy to the artwork. Originally, the sculpture was polychromed, but the original pigments have weathered away and been replaced with whitewash. Repairs, losses, and insect damage are minor and expected due to great age. many vintage and antique religious sculptures...Category
