Description : Il Battesimo di Cristo

Oil painting on canvas. Italian school of the 17th century. At the center of the scene is Christ, kneeling in the water of the Jordan, with his arms gathered towards his body in an introspective attitude; next to him John the Baptist is pouring the water of Baptism on his head. On the left three angels assist, holding the cloth ready to dry the body of Christ, but their gaze is pointed upwards, to contemplate the descent of the Holy Spirit. A landscape rich in vegetation forms the backdrop to the scene. On the first canvas, the painting has some patches on the back. The crack is marked and there are some very small holes. The painting is presented in a 19th century gilded frame (left missing).
