About this work

You see a painting of Saint John on the island of Patmos. The artist used oil on panel to create this work. It's interesting because the painting is part of a triptych, which is a set of three connected panels. Look up the technique of chiaroscuro to learn more about how artists like this one used light and dark to create depth in their paintings.
