The Beheading of St John (after Caravaggio)

The Beheading of St. John (Caravaggio Reproduction)

A moment frozen, drenched in despair,
Where faith and cruelty meet in a lair.
Light and shadow play their part,
Exposing tragedy, piercing the heart.

This reproduction of Caravaggio’s The Beheading of St. John employs the dramatic chiaroscuro technique, highlighting the stark contrasts between light and dark. Executed in oil on canvas, the brushwork captures the raw emotion and physicality of the scene. Staying true to Baroque style, the composition is centered on human suffering, evoking spiritual reflection and historical reverence.
