St John the Baptist, created around 1470, is an exquisite painting by the Early Netherlandish artist Dieric the Younger Bouts. This work exemplifies the meticulous attention to detail and the profound spiritual intensity characteristic of Bouts' oeuvre. Dieric Bouts the Younger, the son of the renowned painter Dieric Bouts the Elder, inherited his father's workshop and artistic legacy, continuing to produce works that are celebrated for their delicate realism and devotional depth.

The painting depicts St John the Baptist, a pivotal figure in Christian theology, known for his role in baptizing Jesus Christ and heralding his arrival. Bouts' representation of the saint is marked by a serene and contemplative expression, capturing the spiritual gravitas and ascetic lifestyle associated with St John. The saint is traditionally shown with attributes such as the lamb, symbolizing Jesus as the "Lamb of God," and a staff or cross, which are often present in depictions of him.

Bouts' technique in this painting reflects the influence of his father's style, characterized by a precise and delicate handling of oil paint, a keen observation of naturalistic details, and a harmonious use of color. The background of the painting often features a detailed landscape, providing a serene and contemplative setting that enhances the spiritual narrative of the work.

The painting is a testament to the transition in Netherlandish art during the late 15th century, where there was a growing emphasis on individual expression and the detailed rendering of the natural world. St John the Baptist by Dieric the Younger Bouts remains an important piece within the canon of Early Netherlandish painting, offering insights into the devotional practices and artistic innovations of the period.
