Saint John across object scale

A physical-scale companion using documented dimensions for selected Metropolitan Museum of Art objects that depict or include Saint John the Theologian. It compares the surviving objects, not the saint’s depicted body size.

Interpretive boundaryThis graphic is an original ICU comparison built from source measurements. Its schematic marks are not documentary images, reconstructions, or evidence for appearance.
Scale ladder comparing four objects associated with depictions of Saint John the Theologian: an 8.3-centimeter medallion, a 15.1-centimeter Crucifixion icon, a 25.5-centimeter John and Prochoros panel, and a 28.7-centimeter cross fragment. Bars compare whole-object height or diameter on a common zero-to-thirty-centimeter scale.

The ladder uses each source’s stated overall height, except the round medallion, where the stated diameter is used. Ratios are calculated against the 8.3 cm medallion. These are selected measurement examples, not an exhaustive corpus.

Source-count note: these measurement citations support this generated companion only and do not alter the entity record’s registered one-source evidence count or maturity state.
