In the early eighties, I had connections with the Maria Andipa Icon Gallery in London. So was able to spend a great deal of time being in this magical space surrounded by the Greek icons. St. John always captured my attention and that connection has carried me through my life, though this is the first time I felt to paint my own version.
John the Baptist was a Jewish prophet, the forerunner of Jesus Christ, known for his wilderness ministry, ascetic lifestyle (camel hair, locusts, honey), and baptizing people in the Jordan River as a sign of repentance for the coming Messiah. He preached imminent judgment and the nearness of God's kingdom, baptizing many, including Jesus, and was eventually beheaded by Herod Antipas at the request of Herodias. He is a significant figure in Christianity, Islam, and other faiths, revered as a prophet who prepared the way for Jesus.
