"The Infant St John" is a notable painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created in the 17th century. This artwork is one of several depictions by Murillo that focuses on the youthful St. John the Baptist, a common subject in Christian art due to St. John's significant role as the forerunner to Christ. Murillo's interpretation is particularly celebrated for its tender representation of the young saint, often portrayed in a pastoral setting that emphasizes his connection to nature and his divine calling.

Murillo's skill in capturing the innocence and spiritual aura of his subjects is evident in "The Infant St John." The painting typically shows St. John as a child, dressed in rough animal skins, which aligns with the Biblical descriptions of his adult attire, and sometimes includes a lamb, symbolizing his later identification as the "Lamb of God." The work is characterized by soft, warm tones and skillful use of light, which not only highlights the figure of St. John but also imbues the scene with a gentle, almost ethereal quality.

This painting, like many of Murillo's religious compositions, was likely intended for private devotion or for placement in a church or chapel, where it would inspire faith and contemplation among viewers. "The Infant St John" reflects Murillo's mastery in blending realism with spirituality, a hallmark of his broader artistic oeuvre, which made him one of the most influential figures in Spanish Baroque art.
