Da Vinci "St. John the Baptist" (1513) Wall Decal (4 Sizes Available)

Add a piece of Renaissance brilliance to your space with Wallhogs’ wall decal reproduction of Saint John the Baptist by Leonardo da Vinci. Believed to be the master’s final painting, this High Renaissance masterpiece—originally rendered in oil on walnut between 1513 and 1516—captures the mysterious essence of John the Baptist with haunting intensity and subtle grace.

Emerging from a shadowy backdrop using Leonardo’s signature chiaroscuro technique, the figure of John the Baptist is both otherworldly and intimate. His soft curls, enigmatic smile, and almost androgynous features reflect the same mysterious beauty that made the Mona Lisa iconic. Clothed in animal skins, he holds a slender reed cross in one hand, while the other gestures upward, guiding the viewer’s eyes—and spirit—toward the heavens.

Leonardo’s use of sfumato—a smoky, seamless blending of tones—gives John’s skin an ethereal softness, imbuing the figure with a spiritual depth and emotional serenity that transcends time. This work is not just a portrait—it’s a visual sermon, a divine mystery captured in subtle strokes.

Our high-resolution decal version allows you to bring this timeless masterpiece into your home or office, printed with rich, fade-resistant inks on precision die-cut fabric. Easy to install and remove without damage, this Wallhogs decal is ideal for anyone who appreciates fine art, religious symbolism, or the genius of da Vinci.
