Saint John the Baptist Bearing Witness. Artist: Workshop of Francesco Granacci (Italian, Villamagna 1469-1543 Florence). Dimensions: 29 3/4 x 82 1/2 in. (75.6 x 209.6 cm). Date: ca. 1506-7.This panel concluded the series to which the adjacent picture belonged. It shows Saint John the Baptist preaching. The two Pharisees at the left gesture towards the advancing figure of Christ. A work of great distinction, the picture is in many respects superior to the companion panel and must be by another artist. Collaborations of this sort were common in the Renaissance. A tentative attribution has been made to Raffaello Botticini, whose later works, however, never attain this quality. The affinities some of the figures show with the Doni Tondo of Michelangelo further point up the stature of the piece. Michelangelo and Granacci were friends and fellow pupils in the workshop of Domenico Ghirlandaio. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
