San Giovannino, also known as Saint John the Baptist, is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Francesco Pacecco De Rosa. De Rosa, born in 1607 in Naples, was a prominent figure in the Neapolitan school of painting, which was heavily influenced by the dramatic intensity and chiaroscuro techniques of Caravaggio. The exact date of the painting is not definitively known, but it is generally attributed to the mid-17th century, a period when De Rosa was at the height of his artistic prowess.

The painting depicts Saint John the Baptist, a significant figure in Christian theology, known for his role in baptizing Jesus Christ and preaching about the coming of the Messiah. In this work, De Rosa captures the youthful saint in a contemplative pose, often characterized by his traditional attributes such as the lamb, symbolizing Christ, and a staff with a cross. The use of light and shadow in the painting highlights the saint's serene yet intense expression, drawing the viewer's attention to his spiritual fervor and ascetic lifestyle.

De Rosa's San Giovannino is a testament to his mastery of the Baroque style, with its dynamic composition, realistic detail, and emotional depth. The artist's ability to convey the saint's inner spirituality and outer simplicity is evident in the delicate rendering of textures, from the roughness of John’s camel hair garment to the softness of the lamb's wool. The background is typically dark, a technique used to focus attention on the figure and enhance the dramatic effect.

This painting not only reflects De Rosa's technical skill but also his deep understanding of religious iconography and his ability to infuse traditional subjects with a sense of immediacy and humanity. San Giovannino remains an important work within De Rosa's oeuvre and a fine example of Neapolitan Baroque painting.
