La Decollation De Saint Jean-baptiste, also known as The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist, is a significant work by the Flemish painter Peter Candid, also known as Pieter de Witte. Born in Bruges in 1548, Candid was a prominent artist of the late Renaissance period, whose works are characterized by their intricate detail, vibrant color palette, and dramatic compositions. He spent a considerable part of his career in Italy and Germany, which greatly influenced his artistic style.

This painting depicts the harrowing biblical scene of the beheading of John the Baptist, a subject that has been a popular theme in Christian art due to its dramatic and emotional intensity. According to the New Testament, John the Baptist was imprisoned by Herod Antipas and later executed at the request of Herodias' daughter, Salome. The moment captured in Candid's painting is one of profound tension and sorrow, as it portrays the final moments of the revered prophet's life.

Candid's rendition of this scene is notable for its meticulous attention to detail and the emotional depth conveyed through the expressions and postures of the figures. The composition is carefully balanced, with the central figure of John the Baptist drawing the viewer's eye. The use of light and shadow enhances the dramatic effect, highlighting the stark contrast between the innocence of the saint and the brutality of his execution.

The painting also reflects Candid's mastery of color and texture, with rich, deep hues that add to the overall impact of the scene. The artist's skillful use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of three-dimensionality and movement, bringing the tragic event to life. La Decollation De Saint Jean-baptiste stands as a testament to Peter Candid's artistic prowess and his ability to convey complex narratives through his work.
