"The Infant St. John with the Lamb" is a notable painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created circa 1660. This artwork is a prime example of Murillo's religious paintings, which often depicted themes of innocence and purity through the portrayal of children and biblical figures. The painting features a young St. John the Baptist, identifiable by his traditional attributes such as the reed cross and the lamb, which symbolizes Christ and his future sacrifice.

Murillo's tender representation of the young saint reflects the Counter-Reformation emphasis on piety and devotion, aiming to inspire the faithful through art. The soft, diffused light and the gentle, idealized features of the child are characteristic of Murillo's mature style, which combined naturalism with a sweet, almost sentimental spirituality. The composition, with St. John engaging directly with the lamb, invites viewers to contemplate the innocence and the divine mission that the child will eventually undertake as the forerunner of Christ.

The painting is a fine example of Murillo's skill in capturing the textures of skin and wool, as well as his mastery of chiaroscuro to create a sense of three-dimensionality. "The Infant St. John with the Lamb" has been admired for its technical excellence and its capacity to convey theological themes through the accessible and emotive imagery of childhood.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of the collection of the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to be studied and appreciated by scholars and the public alike. Its provenance, critical reception, and influence on later art are subjects of ongoing research, contributing to the understanding of Murillo's work and the broader context of Spanish Baroque art.
