These two pictures belong to a series that illustrates episodes from the life of Saint John the Baptist, who preached about the coming of Jesus. Architecture and landscape are used to frame and divide the individual scenes, enabling the viewer to follow the story from the miraculous Annunciation of his conception to his father Zacharias (top picture, left background) to (in the bottom) his preaching in the wilderness. Painted to decorate a room in the Tornabuoni family palace in Florence, they are by more than one artist. Figures in the scene of the preaching have reminded some scholars of the work of Michelangelo, who was a friend of Granacci’s (they had been fellow pupils in the workshop of Domenico Ghirlandaio), and he may have been involved in some capacity.
