A LARGE ICON SHOWING ST. JOHN THE FORERUNNER AS ANGEL OF THE DESERT Greek, circa 1500 Tempera on wood panel. Executed on a gold ground. The Baptist shown frontal, half-length, with large outstretched wings and a punched halo, holding a staff with cruciform finial and carrying an open scroll. His face rendered delicately with earthen colours. His brown dishevelled hair defined by wavy lines, the raiment of skins painted blue, the saint's himation green with white folds. Losses, minimally restored. 64.2 x 41.8 cm. einen Kreuzstab und eine geoeffnete Schriftrolle haelt. Substanzverluste, punktuelle Representations of St John the Forerunner as an angel derive from the passage from Isaiah, quoted at the beginning of the Gospel of Mark: 'Behold, I send my messenger (Greek angelos) before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee'. Orthodox Christians refer to him as the 'Angel of the Desert'.
