Linaioli Tabernacle: St John the Evangelist

c. 1433
Tempera on panel
Museo di San Marco, Florence

St John the Evangelist is depicted on the right wing of the Linaioli tabernacle, while on the left wing St John the Baptist can be seen. These two figures form part of a work that in 1433 opened the way to a new horizon for early Renaissance religious painting.
