"St. John the Evangelist on Patmos" is an oil on oak panel painting by the Early Netherlandish master Hieronymus Bosch, created around 1504-1505. This artwork is one of the few that has been reliably attributed to Bosch, whose oeuvre is characterized by its fantastical imagery, detailed landscapes, and complex symbolism. The painting depicts St. John the Evangelist during his exile on the Greek island of Patmos, where he is said to have written the Book of Revelation.

In the foreground, St. John is shown in a moment of divine inspiration, writing the Book of Revelation. He is often depicted in a tranquil setting, contrasting with the chaotic and often disturbing imagery for which Bosch is known. The background of the painting, however, contains elements more typical of Bosch's style, including strange creatures and a landscape that transitions from an earthly realm to a celestial one, reflecting the apocalyptic visions described in the biblical text.

The painting measures 63.5 by 43.3 centimeters and is currently housed in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin. It is part of a larger work that includes the reverse side, featuring the "Visions of the Hereafter." Together, these works are thought to have originally formed the wings of a triptych, the central panel of which has not survived or has not been identified.

"St. John the Evangelist on Patmos" is notable for its exquisite detail and the way it captures the mystical experience of St. John. Bosch's use of color, light, and shadow contributes to the overall contemplative mood, while the inclusion of fantastical elements invites viewers to ponder the mysteries of the divine and the prophetic visions that have intrigued scholars and art enthusiasts for centuries.

The painting is an important example of Bosch's late work and provides insight into the religious and artistic context of the late 15th and early 16th centuries. It continues to be studied for its theological implications, artistic technique, and its place within the broader narrative of Northern Renaissance art.
