This print showcases an exquisite Alms Dish with the Baptism of Christ, originating from the Netherlands around 1800. The creator remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to this remarkable artifact. Crafted from alloy and pewter, this antique piece is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship prevalent in Europe during the 18th century. The dish's design beautifully depicts a biblical scene - the baptism of Jesus by Saint John the Baptist. This religious portrayal reflects Christianity's significance and serves as a reminder of its cultural heritage. The vibrant colors and intricate decorative details further enhance its visual appeal. Displayed within an art gallery at the Art Institute Chicago, this artifact offers visitors a glimpse into history and allows them to appreciate the skillful metalwork that went into creating it. As one gazes upon this alms dish, they are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in New Testament lore.
