Birth of John the Baptist (Signorelli)

Birth of John the Baptist is a c. 1485–1490 tempera on panel painting by Luca Signorelli.^[1] Originally part of the predella of an unknown altarpiece (though Raffaele Caracciolo definitively linked it to the Sant'Onofrio Altarpiece), it was acquired on the art market in 1824 by the Louvre, where it still hangs in the Salle des Sept-Mètres.^[2]^[3]
