"St. John Eating the Book" is a 14th-century fresco by the Italian painter Giusto di Giovanni de Menabuoi, also known as Giusto de' Menabuoi. Created between 1360 and 1370, this artwork is part of a larger series of frescoes painted by Giusto in the Baptistery of the Cathedral of Padua, Italy. The fresco depicts a scene from the Book of Revelation (Revelation 10:9-10), where the Apostle John is instructed to eat a little scroll handed to him by an angel, symbolizing the internalization of prophetic messages.

Giusto de' Menabuoi, a contemporary of Giotto, was heavily influenced by the Florentine master's style, which is evident in the naturalism and expressiveness of the figures in his frescoes. "St. John Eating the Book" is notable for its vivid portrayal of the Apostle's visionary experience, with careful attention to the emotional and spiritual dimensions of the scene. The fresco is characterized by its rich color palette, detailed landscape, and the harmonious composition that guides the viewer's eye to the central action.

The Baptistery's fresco cycle is considered one of Giusto de Menabuoi's masterpieces, and "St. John Eating the Book" is a significant component of this work, showcasing the artist's skill in conveying complex theological concepts through visual art. The frescoes have been well-preserved, allowing viewers to experience the spiritual and artistic impact of this piece as intended by the artist in the 14th century. The work is an important example of Italian Gothic painting and contributes to our understanding of the religious and cultural context of the period.
