"St. John the Evangelist" is a renowned marble sculpture created by the influential Italian artist Donatello (c. 1386–1466), one of the foremost sculptors of the early Renaissance. This monumental work, which stands at an impressive height of over two meters, was sculpted between 1408 and 1415 and is considered one of Donatello's earliest major commissions. It was originally part of a series of statues intended for the niches of the Florence Cathedral's (Duomo di Firenze) façade but now resides in the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo in Florence.

The sculpture depicts the apostle John, traditionally identified as the author of the Gospel of John, in a moment of introspective contemplation. Donatello's portrayal of St. John the Evangelist showcases a departure from the Gothic style prevalent at the time, moving towards a more naturalistic and humanistic representation. The figure's powerful physical presence, with its deeply carved drapery and the psychological intensity of the face, reflects the innovative approach that Donatello brought to the art of sculpture.

In "St. John the Evangelist," Donatello demonstrates his mastery of the human form, as well as his understanding of classical sculpture, which he reinterpreted to create a work that conveys a sense of inner spirituality and strength. The statue's influence was profound, marking a significant step in the development of Renaissance art and serving as an inspiration for subsequent generations of artists. Donatello's work on this sculpture helped to establish his reputation as a pioneer in creating realistic, emotionally engaging figures that broke away from the rigid and stylized forms of the medieval period.
