"St. John the Evangelist" is a notable oil painting by the Spanish artist Francisco Ribalta, a prominent figure in the Spanish Baroque period known for his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and expressive figures. The painting, which dates back to the early 17th century, depicts John the Evangelist, one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus and the traditional author of the Gospel of John, in a moment of contemplation or divine inspiration.

In the work, Ribalta employs a dark, muted palette, characteristic of his mature style, to focus the viewer's attention on the illuminated figure of St. John. The apostle is often shown with an eagle, his traditional symbol, which may or may not be present in this particular painting depending on the version or interpretation. The composition likely reflects the influence of Caravaggio, whose revolutionary tenebrism had a significant impact on Ribalta and his contemporaries.

The painting is an example of Ribalta's skill in rendering emotion and spirituality, capturing the essence of Counter-Reformation art that sought to inspire piety and devotion through visual representation. "St. John the Evangelist" is considered an important work within Ribalta's oeuvre, illustrating his contribution to the development of Spanish painting and his role in bridging the gap between the Renaissance and Baroque artistic periods.

While the exact location of the original painting is not specified here, Ribalta's works can be found in various museums and collections, including the Prado Museum in Madrid, which houses some of his most famous paintings. "St. John the Evangelist" is a testament to Francisco Ribalta's mastery of religious subjects and his enduring legacy in the history of art.
