St John the Baptist, St John Chrysostom, St John the Evangelist and St Theodore
The original painting that this nineteenth-century copy is based on is the altar piece in the Church of St John Chrysostom in Venice and is much larger. The emphasis here has been changed to focus on St John the Baptist, the patron saint of the Order of St John. St John Chrysostom was an early Church father, and is shown seated.
