St. John the Baptist was painted by Leonardo da Vinci during 1513 to 1516, 

It is believed to be his last painting. 
It is an oil painting on walnut wood. The original size of the work was 69x57 cm.  It is now exhibited at the Musée du Louvre in Paris, France.
I love this painting so much I have decided to make homage to Leonardo da Vinci for the exhibition on caste Snežnik 
by taking his painting as an inspiration for a portrait of Archangel Michael.
The story began long ago. The first sketch was made in 2016. First painting was made with
tempera on wood in 2017. but I wanted to paint him in sfumato technique,  just like Leonardo da Vinci did. on walnut wood.   in the original size of the work 69x57 cm. I have made 128 thin layers  of colour and silver dust to get the final image.
