As today is the five hundredth anniversary of Leonardo’s death it seemed a good time to post a photo of his final painting, John the Baptist, and two other images of the saint in the wilderness that came from his circle or workshop. The first of these later pictures supposedly by Cesare di Sesto and the other by Bernardino Lanino are based on a red chalk drawing by Leonardo (that was stolen in 1973, so the available photo isn’t very good.)
