"The Infant John the Baptist with a Lamb" is a notable painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created circa the 17th century. This artwork is one of several representations of John the Baptist that Murillo painted throughout his career, reflecting the religious and cultural significance of the saint in Catholic Spain. The painting depicts a youthful John the Baptist, often identified by his camel-skin attire and the reed cross, a symbol of his role in the biblical narrative as the forerunner of Christ. In this tender portrayal, the young saint is accompanied by a lamb, which serves as a dual symbol of his own moniker, "The Lamb of God," and the sacrificial role of Jesus Christ whom John would eventually herald.

Murillo's treatment of the subject is characterized by a soft, warm palette and a gentle, idealized realism that was typical of his approach to religious subjects. The artist's skill in rendering textures and his ability to capture the innocence and spirituality of his young subjects are evident in this work. The composition, with its intimate interaction between the child and the animal, invites contemplation and devotion, hallmarks of Counter-Reformation art intended to inspire the faithful.

The painting is an example of Murillo's mature style, which combined the influence of Flemish and Italian masters with his own sensitivity to color and light. As with many of Murillo's works, "The Infant John the Baptist with a Lamb" reflects the artist's profound ability to convey piety and grace, making his paintings highly sought after in his time and celebrated in the centuries that followed.

"The Infant John the Baptist with a Lamb" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a representation of Murillo's contribution to the development of religious painting in Spain. The work is typically housed in a prominent museum or private collection, though its exact location may vary. It continues to be a subject of study for art historians and a cherished piece for admirers of Spanish Baroque art.
