"St. John the Evangelist on the Island of Patmos" is a renowned fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Domenico Ghirlandaio, created around 1480. The artwork is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the Tornabuoni Chapel in the church of Santa Maria Novella, Florence. This particular fresco depicts the moment when St. John the Evangelist, one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, receives divine inspiration to write the Book of Revelation while exiled on the Greek island of Patmos.

The composition of the fresco is notable for its vivid portrayal of the rugged landscape of Patmos, which provides a dramatic backdrop to the serene figure of St. John. Ghirlandaio's mastery of perspective and his use of color to convey the spiritual intensity of the scene are evident. The Apostle is shown in a moment of divine ecstasy, with his gaze turned heavenward as he communes with the angelic figure beside him, who is traditionally interpreted as his muse, dictating the apocalyptic visions.

Ghirlandaio's work is a prime example of the Florentine Renaissance style, characterized by its attention to detail, balanced composition, and the integration of classical motifs with Christian iconography. The fresco also reflects the humanist interests of the time, as it emphasizes the emotional and intellectual experiences of the saint, rather than just his religious significance.

The "St. John the Evangelist on the Island of Patmos" fresco is highly regarded for its artistic and historical value, contributing to the understanding of Renaissance art and its religious and cultural context. It remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Domenico Ghirlandaio, showcasing the artist's skill in fresco technique and his ability to convey complex theological themes through visual art.
