Description: | The figures of Christ and Saint John the Baptist are set against a hilly landscape. The winding form of the river effectively draws the eye back into the composition. God presides over Christ and John the Baptist, surrounded by angels in a cloud. This, along with the strong contrapposto of the figures, and sharp contrast between light and shade, creates a dramatic composition that conveys the importance of the baptism of Christ. | Subjects: | religion (Baptism of Christ St John the Baptist); landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Trevisani, Francesco (Italian painter, 1656-1746) Æ Attributed to manner of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8908... | Go to resource |
