Baptism of Christ

Jacopo Tintoretto

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a scene with several figures outdoors near a body of water. A man with dark hair and a beard stands in the water. He has one hand on his chest and a cloth wrapped around his waist. Another man, with a cloth around his waist and a staff under his arm, pours water from a bowl over the head of the man in the water. There are two cherubs to the left. One cherub is partially hidden behind the man in the water. The other cherub stands in front of an angel with wings and a blue dress. The angel's head is turned toward the two cherubs. There are rays of light emanating from the sky. The sky is blue with white clouds. There are trees and foliage on the sides.
