Description:
|
|
The scenes of Saint John the Baptist do not correspond to the actual chronological order of their execution. Del Sarto started with The Baptism of Christ (the six scene in the life of the Baptist) and finished with The Birth of the Baptist in 1526. Documented payments for the single scenes span the period 1515-1526, yet the style of the Baptism suggests that he began work on the series as early as 1507-1508. His technique matured over the course of those years, especially his sculptural clarity; contrasting this first panel with later ones makes this evident.
