"St John the Evangelist" is a notable fresco by the Italian painter Giacomo Jaquerio, an influential artist of the Gothic and early Renaissance periods. This work is part of a larger series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the Chapel of the Holy Shroud (Cappella della Sacra Sindone) in Turin, Italy. Painted in the early 15th century, this fresco depicts St. John the Evangelist, one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus and the author of the Gospel of John, according to Christian tradition.

Jaquerio's representation of St. John the Evangelist is characterized by the intricate detailing and vivid color palette typical of the International Gothic style, which was prevalent in Europe at the time. The fresco showcases the saint in a contemplative pose, often with a symbolic eagle, which is his traditional attribute, indicating his soaring, theological insights. The work is significant for its artistic merit and for providing insight into the religious and cultural context of the Piedmont region during the transition from the Gothic to the Renaissance period.

Giacomo Jaquerio was a pivotal figure in the diffusion of Gothic art in the Piedmontese court and is renowned for his contributions to the development of early Renaissance art in northern Italy. His frescoes, including "St John the Evangelist," are celebrated for their narrative clarity, emotional expressiveness, and the fusion of French Gothic and Tuscan influences, which would eventually give rise to the distinctive Piedmontese style of the 15th century.

The fresco is a valuable piece of Italy's artistic heritage and has been the subject of conservation efforts to preserve its integrity. As a testament to Jaquerio's skill and the cultural importance of his work, "St John the Evangelist" continues to attract scholars and art enthusiasts, contributing to the understanding of the artistic transitions that shaped the visual language of the Italian Renaissance.
