According to the synoptic Gospels, Herod, who was tetrarch, or sub-king, of Galilee under the Roman Empire, had imprisoned John the Baptist because he reproved Herod for divorcing his wife (Phasaelis, daughter of King Aretas of Nabataea) and unlawfully taking Herodias, the wife of his brother Herod to Philip I.
John Baptist Banister (1654 – May 1692) was an English clergyman and one of the first university-trained naturalists in North America. His primary focus was botany but he also studied insects and molluscs.

John the Baptist (sometimes called John in the Wilderness) was the subject of at least eight paintings by the Italian Baroque artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610). The story of John the Baptist is told in the Gospels. John was the cousin of Jesus, and his calling was to prepare the way for the coming of the Messiah.

The cycle occupies the two lateral walls and the end wall of the Cappella Maggiore, covering a surface of 400 m 2 (4,300 sq ft) in total. [2] At the left (looking from the nave towards the high altar) are the Stories of Saint Stephen, the titular saint of the church and patron saint of Prato; at the right are the Stories of Saint John the Baptist, the protector of nearby Florence.
