The Childhood of Saint John the Baptist or Saint John the Baptist Meets his Parents is a 1450 oil on panel painting by Sano di Pietro, showing John the Baptist, Zacharias and Elizabeth.
It may show him getting back home after a brief absence or leaving to become a prophet in the desert. It comes from the predella of an altarpiece - fragments of that altarpiece are now in Budapest and Moscow. In 2009 Ann L. Oppenheimer left it to its present owner, the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Strasbourg...
