Baptism of Christ
The Baptism of Christ by Albrecht Dürer. A circular engraving of a scene depicting a man standing in water with two men to the sides and angels above. The central figure stands in the water with one foot raised. He has a halo and is nude with a cloth around his waist. To his left is a man with a long beard and a halo wearing a robe and with one hand up. To his right are two men with halos. One man is behind the other with hands folded at chest height. The man in front of him has wings and folds his arms across his body. Above them are three men. The central one descends with wings spread. He holds an arm out and wears a robe. Angels surround him in the sky with hands outstretched. The men stand on a patterned floor. Behind them are lines suggesting hills. The image is in black and white.
