Giovanni Baglione aka Il Sordo del Barozzo (1566-1643), St. John Baptist (c. 1600).

Working primarily in Rome, this Late Mannerist artist was involved in a drawn out, acrimonious verbal fracas with Caravaggio, even though he was strongly influenced by the master.

Cristofano Allori (1577-1621), St. John Baptist in the Desert (1620).

Son of the painter Allesandro Allori, the late Florentine Mannerist, Christofano was influenced by Caravaggio. Technically proficient, he copied several Caravaggio’s works so accurately that they were, for a time, thought to have been by the master.
