"St John on Patmos" is a notable work by Jean Fouquet, a preeminent French painter of the 15th century, renowned for his mastery in manuscript illumination and panel painting. This particular artwork is a miniature painting, which was created as part of a larger body of work, the "Hours of Étienne Chevalier," a richly decorated book of hours commissioned by Étienne Chevalier, treasurer to King Charles VII of France. The painting depicts the Evangelist John as he receives divine inspiration to write the Book of Revelation on the Greek island of Patmos.

The miniature is celebrated for its vivid use of color and intricate detail, characteristics that are emblematic of Fouquet's style. It is also notable for its blend of Gothic and early Renaissance artistic elements, which is typical of Fouquet's work and reflective of the transitional period in which he painted. The composition of "St John on Patmos" is marked by a clear organization of space and a sense of depth uncommon in earlier medieval miniatures, demonstrating the influence of Italian Renaissance art on Fouquet, who is believed to have traveled to Italy early in his career.

"St John on Patmos" is significant not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its historical context. The work is an important example of the cultural and artistic exchanges between France and Italy during the 15th century, and it showcases the evolving tastes and artistic techniques of the period. As part of the "Hours of Étienne Chevalier," the miniature contributes to our understanding of the devotional practices and the role of private prayer books among the European elite of the time.

Jean Fouquet's "St John on Patmos" remains an object of scholarly interest and is held in high regard for its artistic innovation and its reflection of the cultural milieu of 15th-century France. The painting is currently housed in the Musée Condé, Chantilly, France, where it continues to be studied and appreciated by art historians and the public alike.
