EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the profound moment of Christ's baptism by John the Baptist. Painted by Jan van Scorel in 1535, this masterpiece showcases the artist's skillful use of panel and oil paint to bring this sacred scene to life. On the right side of the painting, we witness John baptizing Christ with water from the Jordan River. The significance of this act symbolizes purification and divine acceptance. Above them, in heavenly glory, God the Father watches over this holy event while a dove representing the Holy Spirit descends upon Christ. To the left of center stage, a few individuals can be seen drying themselves off and getting dressed after their own baptisms. This inclusion emphasizes that baptism is not only an individual experience but also a communal one.
