From the museum record

Slender and weathered from preaching in the wilderness where he lived on locusts and wild honey, John the Baptist carries a bowl of water, symbolizing his role as the baptizer of Christ. In this print, Campagnola combined engraved lines with his innovative stipple technique, in which tiny dots softly shade the surface of the saint’s body and produce the hazy atmosphere of the rustic landscape.

Lupin’s visual index

A monochrome engraving depicts Saint Luke standing beside the lifeless body of Christ, set against a rural landscape.
