"Scenes from the Life of St John the Baptist: 2. Birth and Naming of the Baptist" is a fresco by the Italian painter Giotto di Bondone, created around 1320. This work is part of a series of frescoes depicting the life of St John the Baptist, which were commissioned for the Peruzzi Chapel in the Church of Santa Croce, Florence. Giotto, renowned for his contributions to the Italian Renaissance and his break from the Byzantine style prevalent in the Middle Ages, brought a new level of realism and emotional depth to religious art.

The fresco illustrates the biblical event of the birth and naming of John the Baptist, as described in the Gospel of Luke. It showcases Giotto's mastery of narrative, his use of space, and his innovative approach to depicting figures with weight and volume. The scene is set within a domestic interior, emphasizing the humanity and the sacredness of the event. The characters display a range of emotions, from the joy of Elizabeth, John's mother, to the surprise of the onlookers at the revelation of his name, which breaks from family tradition.

Giotto's frescoes in the Peruzzi Chapel were groundbreaking in their storytelling and use of perspective, setting the stage for the developments in Renaissance art. "Scenes from the Life of St John the Baptist: 2. Birth and Naming of the Baptist" is a significant example of Giotto's artistry and his influence on the course of Western art. The fresco has been studied extensively for its artistic and historical significance, and it remains an important work for understanding the evolution of European painting.
