Saint John the Baptist Preaching Before Herod

Saint John the Baptist Preaching Before Herod shows John the Baptist on the left, bare-chested and clad in a rough fur garment, gesturing with his right hand as he addresses a regal ruler. The ruler, center-right, wears a pink tunic and an ornate blue-and-gold cloak, surrounded by a crowd of courtiers, women, and children who watch intently. The outdoor scene uses a warm, tonal palette of pinks, golds, and blues against a muted landscape, and the figures are rendered with careful modeling and detailed textiles typical of Pieter de Grebber’s Dutch Baroque narrative style.
