The original work of art at 34 x 45 inches was commissioned by Rev. Paul Sullivan for Sacred Hearth Catholic Church, Phoenix, Arizona, for placement in the baptistry of the church.
The piece employs a pseudo iconographic style to evoke the universal and transcendent. As depicted in the Gospels, this composition features John as the last of the prophets of the Old Dispensation, pictured in an arid desert landscape signaling the new life of grace here in Jesus, but not yet. Alternatively the more verdant landscape populated by angels, signifies the inauguration of the New Creation in Christ and the gateway to eternal life. The voice of the Father is symbolically portrayed as well as the Holy Spirit which, as a dove, alighted on the person of Christ.
