320 - 17th Century Flemish School - Preaching of St. John the Baptist in a Landscape Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 58 x 73.5 cm. This work depicts a crowd gathered in a lush landscape, listening to the sermon of Saint John the Baptist. He appears in the center, dressed in a red cloak and with an eloquent gesture, addressing the group of figures arranged around him. The composition, rich in detail, shows classical ruins in the background, knights on horseback, and a varied representation of characters, typical of the 17th-century Flemish landscape tradition. The scene illustrates one of the best-known episodes in the New Testament: Saint John the Baptist preaching repentance in the desert, surrounded by followers. The treatment of the landscape, the atmosphere, and the attention to detail reflect the characteristics of the Flemish school, especially the Italian influence in the integration of classical architecture and lush nature. Due to its stylistic qualities and careful execution, the work can most likely be attributed to the hand of Johannes Jacob Hartmann or his workshop. Located in international warehouse.
