"Torture of St John the Evangelist" is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Filippino Lippi, completed in 1502. This artwork is a significant example of Lippi's mature style, which is characterized by its dramatic intensity, emotional expressiveness, and complex composition. The painting depicts the apocryphal event of the Christian saint, John the Evangelist, undergoing torture by being placed in a cauldron of boiling oil. According to Christian tradition, this attempted execution occurred at the Latin Gate in Rome under the orders of the Roman Emperor Domitian.

In Lippi's depiction, the scene is filled with a multitude of figures, showcasing the artist's skill in creating dynamic and crowded compositions. The central figure of St. John appears calm and unharmed amidst the chaos, suggesting divine protection and the saint's unwavering faith. The onlookers exhibit a range of emotions, from awe to horror, as they witness the miraculous survival of the saint. The painting's use of color, light, and shadow enhances the drama and highlights the contrast between the saint's serenity and the surrounding turmoil.

The "Torture of St John the Evangelist" is notable for its fusion of classical elements with the emerging Renaissance ideals of naturalism and humanism. Lippi's work reflects the influence of his teacher, Sandro Botticelli, and anticipates the High Renaissance style of artists like Michelangelo and Raphael. The painting is an important piece in understanding the transition from the Early to the High Renaissance in Florence and the development of religious art during this period.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of the collection of the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence, Italy, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
