Located in the grand Cathedral of Prato, this masterpiece showcases the artistic brilliance of the Early Renaissance period. The high relief sculpture depicts a dramatic scene from biblical history, portraying Herod and other important men witnessing the beheading of St. John the Baptist.

The composition exudes a sense of solemnity and reverence as it brings to life an important moment from the New Testament. The craftsmanship is impeccable, with each figure expertly sculpted to convey emotion and narrative power. Dating back to 1473, this artwork stands as a testament to both Mino da Fiesole's skill as a sculptor and his contribution to Renaissance art.
