Über das Gemälde

The protagonist in this scene, John the Baptist, the forerunner of Christ, stands partially concealed in the shade of a group of fanciful trees. It is as if Bloemaert wanted to prove that he could paint virtually anything and everything: a mountainous landscape, leafy trees, as well as figures, either nude or clad in exotic colourful gowns and arranged in complicated poses. All of this proves him to be a master of Mannerism.

When his father is appointed city architect (stads-bouwmeester) of Amsterdam in 1591, Bloemaert accompanies him there.

Death of his father
In 1593 his father, the architect Cornelis Bloemaert I, dies; Abraham returns to Utrecht.

From Haarlem Mannerism to the Baroque
Having begun in the style of the “Haarlem Mannerists”, by the beginning of the 17th century Bloemaert alters his style in line with the new Baroque style then developing.
