caption: The image shows a painting of a man in a red robe, believed to be Saint John the Baptist, kneeling on the ground with a snake coiled around him. He is wearing a white robe and has a halo of light around his head, indicating that he is being baptized. His hands are clasped together in prayer and his eyes are closed in reverence. The snake is coiled up around him, its scales glinting in the light. The background of the painting is a deep blue, with a few stars twinkling in the night sky.
