The image of John the Baptist. Fragment of the painting by Alexander Ivanov

In the center of the picture is a large-scale figure of John the Baptist, a passionate preacher, an ascetic who urged the people to repent, to get rid of their sins in order to bring the Kingdom of Heaven closer.

The second center of the picture is Christ. John points to him, people’s eyes are turned to him. Christ is a symbol of goodness, spiritual purity, higher justice.
