%X This article discusses the numerous attempts of the past decades to establish a plausible dating for Leonardo's John the Baptist (Paris, Louvre). I am particularly critical of the assumption that the painting was made before 1510. After weighing up all the arguments, I come to the conclusion that Leonardo developed a specific iconography of light for Pope Leo X in his painting with John the Baptist, which can also be found in Raphael's paintings of the same subject.
