Two heads depicting John the Baptist; the remains of two full-figure marble sculptures, one by Tino di Camaino probably executed between 1320 and 1324 and the other by a Florentine artist executed during the first half of the 14th century. John the Baptist is one of the most frequently portrayed figures in the Christian tradition. Patron saint of Florence, his image dominates the Baptistery, highlighting his role as a precursor of Christ’s coming. The head by Tino di Camaino was once part of a sculpture group which formerly decorated the Southern Door of the Baptistery, showing the scene of the Baptism with John the Baptist almost in profile as he baptizes Christ, who is the front-facing central figure. The other head was part of a group above the Northern Door showing John the Baptist preaching. Both heads are dramatic studies, characterized by their intense, solemn gaze, and both display a Gothic elegance in the sinuous lines of the beards and hair.
