Saints John the Baptist and Minias (Bicci di Lorenzo) is a wood panel painting from the early 1400s by Florentine artist Bicci di Lorenzo (1373–1452). The piece shows Saint Minias of Florence, also known as San Miniato. It is painted in tempera with a gold sheet on poplar wood. Today it hangs in the Legion of Honor Museum in San Francisco, California. The museum also has a similar peaked panel by Bicci, depicting Saints Anthony and Stephen. These panels were likely part of a larger altarpiece.
