"The Young St. John the Baptist" is a notable painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created during the 17th century. This work is one of several interpretations by Murillo that depict the youthful figure of John the Baptist, a subject that was popular in religious art of the time due to the saint's significance in Christianity as the forerunner to Jesus Christ. Murillo's rendition is particularly admired for its tender representation of the young saint, often portrayed in a pastoral setting that reflects the artist's skill in capturing the innocence and piety of his subjects.

Murillo's "The Young St. John the Baptist" typically shows the saint as a boy or adolescent in the wilderness, a reference to the Biblical narrative of John the Baptist's life in the desert before he began his ministry. The saint is often depicted with symbolic elements such as a reed cross, a lamb, or a scroll with the words "Ecce Agnus Dei" (Behold the Lamb of God), underscoring his role in heralding the arrival of Jesus. The painting's composition, use of light, and the serene expression of St. John contribute to its devotional quality and reflect the artist's mastery of the Baroque style.

Murillo's works, including "The Young St. John the Baptist," were highly influential in the development of religious iconography and had a lasting impact on the portrayal of saintly figures in art. His paintings are characterized by their softness, warm tones, and the gentle humanity he imbued in his subjects, which made them accessible and appealing to a wide audience. Today, Murillo's depiction of St. John the Baptist is considered an important example of Spanish Baroque painting and is studied for its artistic and cultural significance. The painting can be found in various art collections, museums, and galleries around the world, where it continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic beauty and devotional content.
