"The Naming of St John the Baptist" is a fresco by the Early Renaissance Italian painter Fra Angelico, also known as Guido di Pietro. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes created by Fra Angelico in the 1430s for the Convent of San Marco in Florence, Italy. The fresco depicts the biblical scene from the Gospel of Luke (1:57-64), where Elizabeth and Zechariah name their son John, in the presence of family and neighbors, who are astonished that Elizabeth chooses a name not belonging to their family. Zechariah, who had been struck mute for his disbelief in the angel's prophecy of John's birth, regains his speech after writing "His name is John."

Fra Angelico is renowned for his devout spirituality and the serene and harmonious qualities of his art. His work is characterized by its delicate use of color and light, and its serene figures imbued with a sense of piety and calm. "The Naming of St John the Baptist" exemplifies these qualities, with its gentle portrayal of the figures and the use of light to highlight the spiritual significance of the event.

The fresco is notable for its architectural perspective, which was innovative at the time, and for the way in which Fra Angelico integrates the sacred event into a contemporary Florentine setting, thereby making the divine narrative more accessible to the viewer. The fresco's composition, with its attention to detail and narrative clarity, is a testament to Fra Angelico's mastery of fresco technique and his ability to convey complex theological ideas through art.

"The Naming of St John the Baptist" remains an important work in the study of Renaissance art and provides insight into the religious and artistic culture of 15th-century Florence. It is a prime example of Fra Angelico's contribution to the development of Renaissance fresco painting and his influence on subsequent generations of artists. The fresco continues to be admired for its spiritual depth and aesthetic beauty, and it holds a significant place in the oeuvre of one of the most respected painters of the Italian Renaissance.
