San Juan en Patmos

ca. 1511
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 607
Baldung, pintor, grabador y diseñador de vitrales de gran originalidad, procedía de una familia de abogados y médicos. A los dieciocho años entró en el taller de Durero en Núremberg. Este panel representa al apóstol Juan en la isla de Patmos escribiendo el libro del Apocalipsis; el águila es su emblema. Era originalmente parte de un tríptico, pintado por encargo de la Orden de San Juan de Jerusalén en Grünen Wörth, cerca de Estrasburgo, y mencionado en un documento de 1510–1511, unos cinco años después de que Baldung abandonara el taller de Durero.
