The Baptism of Christ, 1530s. Creator: Lucas Cranach (German, 1472-1553)
The Baptism of Christ, 1530s. Painted in minute detail, Cranachs majestic scene includes elements characteristic of landscapes in 16th-century German art: verdant forest, hilltop city, and distant mountains. A close associate of Protestant reformer Martin Luther, Cranach adapted Christian imagery to reflect Luthers belief that religious art must narrate scripture. The Gospels describe Christs baptism with the heavens opening, a dove descending, and a voice saying, " Here is my beloved son, with whom I am well pleased, " which Cranach painted in Latin directly onto the clouds
