of St. John the Baptist include: Birth of St. John the Baptist St. John the Baptist Leaving his family, Prayer and Predication in the Desert Beheading of St. John the Baptist Feast of Herod, including the dance of Salome (perhaps a portrait of Lucrezia Buti) and the presentation of the saint's head to a cold Herodias Lippi's frescoes were largely completed a secco (i.e. after the plaster used for fresco painting had dried), and therefore numerous details are now mere halos (for example, in the Feast of Herod the vases on the right and the table companions at the left).
