"Called L'orbetto. St John The Evangelist On The Island Patmos" is a notable work by the Italian Baroque painter Alessandro Turchi, also known as L'Orbetto. This painting is a representation of St. John the Evangelist during his exile on the Greek island of Patmos, where, according to Christian tradition, he composed the Book of Revelation. Turchi's work is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, typical of the Baroque period, and its emotional intensity.

Alessandro Turchi (1578–1649) was an influential artist from Verona who worked in Rome for much of his career. He was known for his small-scale, highly finished paintings, often on copper, which was a popular medium at the time for its smooth surface and ability to render fine detail. Turchi's style combined the dynamism of the Baroque with a certain classicism, reflecting the influence of both the Venetian school, with its rich color palette, and the Bolognese school, known for its disciplined approach to composition and form.

In "Called L'orbetto. St John The Evangelist On The Island Patmos," Turchi depicts St. John in a moment of divine inspiration or contemplation, possibly receiving the visions that would become the Book of Revelation. The painting is notable for its depiction of the rugged landscape of Patmos, which adds to the sense of isolation and spiritual intensity of the scene. The figure of St. John is rendered with a sense of dignity and grace, his expression conveying the weight of the prophetic visions he is experiencing.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not known, it is likely from the later period of Turchi's career, when he had fully developed his mature style. The work is an example of Turchi's skill in conveying complex religious themes through powerful visual narratives. It remains an important piece within Turchi's oeuvre, reflecting the artistic and spiritual concerns of the Baroque era.

The painting is a testament to Turchi's ability to fuse the naturalistic detail of the Renaissance with the emotional and dramatic intensity of the Baroque. It continues to be studied for its artistic merit and as an example of the religious art of the period. The current location of the painting, its provenance, and its history since Turchi's time are also of interest to art historians and contribute to the understanding of the artist's impact on the development of Baroque painting.
