"San Juanito" (also known as "Young Saint John" or "Saint John the Child") is a notable work by the Spanish Baroque painter Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created in the 17th century. This painting is one of several representations of John the Baptist as a child, a subject that Murillo returned to multiple times throughout his career. Known for his religious works and his tender, realistic portrayals of children and everyday life, Murillo's "San Juanito" exemplifies his skill in capturing the innocence and spirituality of youth.

The artwork typically depicts a young John the Baptist in a pastoral setting, often with a lamb, symbolizing his later role in the New Testament as the one who announces the arrival of Christ, the "Lamb of God." The painting is characterized by its soft light, warm tones, and the gentle, idealized features of the child, which were hallmarks of Murillo's style. The composition and the use of chiaroscuro demonstrate the influence of Italian masters, which Murillo may have absorbed through the works of other artists, as he is not known to have traveled outside of Spain.

"San Juanito" is significant for its artistic merit and for the insight it provides into the religious and cultural context of the period. Murillo's works were highly sought after during his lifetime and remain influential in the study of Spanish Baroque art. The painting is also an example of the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on accessible and emotive religious imagery, designed to inspire devotion among the faithful.

While the exact date of creation and current location of "San Juanito" may vary depending on the specific work being referenced, as Murillo painted several versions of this subject, it is generally held in high esteem by art historians and considered a fine example of Murillo's contribution to the genre of religious painting.
