Description:

This landscape painting depicts the biblical scene of the Baptism of Christ in the Jordan River. In the center, John the Baptist, dressed in reddish-brown garments, is shown pouring water over the head of Jesus, who stands partially submerged in the river. Several figures are gathered around the event, some observing with reverence, while others are undressing or preparing for baptism. The setting is a dramatic and somewhat wild natural landscape, characteristic of Salvator Rosa's style. Towering, craggy rocks and cliffs frame the scene, with large, shadowy trees dominating the left side of the composition. The Jordan River flows through the center, reflecting the sky and the surrounding terrain. The sky is a mix of dark clouds and patches of light blue, suggesting a powerful and awe-inspiring natural world. The figures are relatively small in comparison to the grandeur of the landscape, emphasizing the spiritual significance of the event within the vastness of nature.
