This beautiful bust of Saint John is the embodiment of medieval devotion, the quiet spirituality and technical sophistication of the carving providing an intimate glimpse into the personal grief of the disciple at Calvary.

With his head tilted, brow furrowed and expression distressed, he leans on his right hand, his sorrowful and contemplative mood palpable. A poignant composition of high aesthetic quality, this is a deeply provocative work with serene celestial movement and powerful emotional resonance.
