Why are there 3 St John the Baptist in the Wilderness paintings?

They each have the exact same title. One of them is by Da Vinci, the other by Bosch, and the third by Van Dyck. Is this a common title or theme in painting?Why are there 3 St John the Baptist in the Wilderness paintings?
It is normal. Many painters like to depict some of the events in the Bible. Another case I could mention is The Annunciation.
Three? There are hundreds, thousands of paintings about him... btw have you ever read the Bible?Why are there 3 St John the Baptist in the Wilderness paintings?
symbolize good faith
