Baptism of Christ |
||||||||
|
||||||||
| This fresco shows the moment during
St. John's baptism of Christ in the River Jordan when the Holy Ghost descends to
Christ and God acknowledges Him as his beloved Son. The act of baptism, here is shown without John
pouring water over Christ's head. Seldom in the history of art has this scene of
minimal action been turned into such compelling drama. |
