"Scenes from the Life of St. John the Evangelist: 1. St. John on Patmos" is a fresco attributed to the Italian painter Giotto di Bondone, dating from around 1320. This work is part of a series of frescoes that depict various episodes from the life of St. John the Evangelist, one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus and the author of the Book of Revelation. The fresco is located in the Peruzzi Chapel of the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence, Italy, which houses a cycle of paintings dedicated to the lives of St. John the Evangelist and St. John the Baptist.

The fresco "St. John on Patmos" illustrates the moment when St. John is said to have received divine revelations that led to the writing of the Book of Revelation. The scene is set on the island of Patmos, where John was exiled by the Roman Emperor Domitian. Giotto's rendering of this biblical episode is noted for its dramatic intensity and emotional depth, characteristics that mark the transition from the medieval Byzantine style to the more naturalistic approach of the Renaissance.

In the fresco, St. John is typically depicted in a contemplative state, often with an eagle, his traditional symbol, nearby. The landscape of Patmos is rendered with attention to the rocky and barren environment, which enhances the sense of isolation and spiritual intensity of the scene. Giotto's use of color, light, and shadow, as well as his ability to convey the psychological state of his figures, demonstrates his innovative approach to painting, which had a profound influence on the development of Western art.

The "Scenes from the Life of St. John the Evangelist" frescoes are considered to be among Giotto's masterpieces, showcasing his skill in storytelling through visual means and his mastery of fresco technique. The "St. John on Patmos" fresco, in particular, is admired for its narrative clarity and the way it captures the essence of the saint's visionary experience.

As with many works of art from the period, there is ongoing scholarly debate regarding the attribution of the fresco to Giotto, as well as the extent of his workshop's involvement in its execution. Nonetheless, the fresco remains an important example of early 14th-century Italian painting and a key work in understanding the evolution of European art.
