San Giovanni a Patmos

ca. 1511
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 607
Baldung, pittore, incisore e autore di vetrate di grande originalità, proveniva da una famiglia di avvocati e medici. All’età di diciotto anni entrò nella bottega di Dürer a Norimberga. Questa tavola, che in origine faceva parte di un trittico, raffigura l’apostolo Giovanni nell’isola di Patmos mentre compone il libro della Rivelazione; l’aquila rappresenta il suo simbolo. La pala d’altare fu commissionata dall’Ordine di san Giovanni di Gerusalemme a Grünen Wörth, vicino a Strasburgo, ed è citata in un documento del 1510-11 circa, approssimativamente cinque anni dopo che Baldung aveva lasciato la bottega di Dürer.
