"Birth and Naming of St. John the Baptist" (1452-1465) is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Fra Filippo Lippi. It is part of a series of frescoes painted by Lippi in the Cathedral of Prato, Italy, depicting scenes from the life of St. John the Baptist, who is the patron saint of the city. This particular work illustrates the biblical event of the birth and naming of John the Baptist, as described in the Gospel of Luke.

The fresco is renowned for its vivid portrayal of a domestic scene, set within a contemporary Florentine interior, which was a groundbreaking approach at the time. Lippi's skillful use of perspective and his attention to detail in the depiction of the figures and their surroundings reflect the innovative spirit of the early Renaissance. The work is characterized by its harmonious composition, the gentle rendering of the figures, and the use of light, which contributes to the serene and sacred atmosphere of the scene.

Fra Filippo Lippi, born around 1406 and passing away in 1469, was a Carmelite friar who became one of the most admired painters of the 15th century. His works are noted for their soft, rounded forms, and for the warmth and sweetness of their expression. The "Birth and Naming of St. John the Baptist" stands as a testament to Lippi's mastery of fresco technique and his ability to convey narrative and emotion through art.

The fresco has been studied extensively by art historians and is often cited as an example of the transition from the Gothic style to the more naturalistic approach that characterized the Renaissance. It remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Fra Filippo Lippi and continues to attract visitors and scholars to the Cathedral of Prato, where it can be viewed in its original setting.
