"St. John the Baptist in Meditation" is an oil painting attributed to the Early Netherlandish painter Hieronymus Bosch, created around the early 16th century. The artwork depicts St. John the Baptist, the forerunner of Jesus Christ, in a contemplative state, set against a serene, yet characteristically enigmatic landscape that Bosch is known for. The painting is executed with the fine detail and symbolic complexity typical of Bosch's work, inviting interpretation and study.

The painting showcases St. John in a moment of introspection, often interpreted as a reflection on the coming of Christ and his own role in the Christian narrative. The saint is usually shown in a wilderness setting, alluding to his time spent in the desert, and this work is no exception. However, Bosch's rendition is unique in its otherworldly atmosphere and the inclusion of various symbolic elements that have been the subject of much scholarly debate.

"St. John the Baptist in Meditation" is part of a series of works by Bosch that feature St. John the Baptist, indicating the artist's fascination with the saint's life and spiritual significance. The painting's provenance and the exact date of its creation are not definitively known, but it is generally placed in the later period of Bosch's career. The work is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as an example of Bosch's mature style, characterized by a complex iconography and a masterful use of color and light to evoke mood and narrative.

As with many of Bosch's paintings, this work has been analyzed for its potential allegorical meanings, with various interpretations offered by art historians. The painting's current location is in the Museo Lázaro Galdiano in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to be a subject of admiration and study for its artistic beauty and enigmatic content.
