Saint John the Baptist Going out into the Wilderness, anonymous, c. 1540 Canvas Print

Round stained glass window depicting the departure of John the Baptist to the desert. In the foreground, in the middle, is depicted how John says goodbye to his parents, Zacharias and Elisabeth, to retire to the desert. On his hip hangs a horn, symbol of the saving power of the Lord. On the left a few women and men watch. The scene is set on an elevation in front of a Renaissance-style building. In the background on the right, Johannes is sitting alone on a rock in the desert, meditating or in prayer (the grisaille has largely worn away at Johannes's place, only his legs and face are still visible). The landscape features several horned animals, including an ox, two deer with antlers and a unicorn.
