"Saint John the Baptist" is a notable engraving by the Italian Renaissance artist Giulio Campagnola, created around 1510. This work is distinguished by its innovative use of the stipple technique, where the artist employed dots rather than lines to create the image, a method that Campagnola is credited with pioneering. The engraving depicts John the Baptist in the wilderness, a theme common in Christian art, which reflects the saint's role as a hermit and a prophet who foretold the coming of Jesus Christ.

The composition of "Saint John the Baptist" is characterized by a harmonious blend of detailed natural elements and the serene figure of the saint. John is typically shown with attributes such as a reed cross, a reference to his proclamation of Christ's imminent arrival, and sometimes a scroll with the words "Ecce Agnus Dei" (Behold the Lamb of God), pointing to Jesus as the savior. In Campagnola's rendition, these elements are likely to be present, contributing to the iconographic tradition of the subject.

Giulio Campagnola's work bridges the gap between the Early Renaissance and the High Renaissance, and his engravings are highly regarded for their technical innovation and artistic finesse. "Saint John the Baptist" is a prime example of Campagnola's mastery in engraving and his contribution to the development of the medium. The artwork is significant not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its influence on the printmaking techniques of the period.

The engraving is held in various collections and has been studied for its stylistic and technical qualities. It serves as an important piece in understanding the evolution of printmaking in the Renaissance and the experimentation by artists during this period of rich artistic exploration. As with many works of this era, "Saint John the Baptist" by Giulio Campagnola is a subject of interest for art historians and enthusiasts alike, offering insight into the religious and cultural context of the time as well as the creative processes of the artists.
