"The Preaching of St John the Baptist in the Desert" is a 17th-century baroque painting by Italian artist Massimo Stanzione. The artwork is a representation of St. John the Baptist, a Biblical figure, preaching in the wilderness. Stanzione has portrayed St John the Baptist in the typical iconography, with wild clothes and a staff, emphasizing his ascetic life, and includes an audience of people and animals, highlighting the reach of his teachings.

Stanzione, who was predominantly active in Naples, Italy during the early Baroque period, has utilized the chiaroscuro technique in this painting, effectively highlighting contrasting light and dark areas to add depth and dimension, a technique that was typical during the Baroque period. This particular work by Stanzione contributes to a wider understanding of Neptune's artistic milieu in the 17th century. Currently, the painting is housed in the Louvre, in Paris, speaking to its recognized cultural and artistic significance.
