"The Baptism of Christ" is a drawing by Jacob de Wit, a Dutch Baroque artist known for his masterful use of light and shadow. The drawing depicts the biblical scene of John the Baptist baptizing Jesus in the River Jordan. The composition features three central figures: John, Jesus, and an angel, surrounded by a host of other figures. De Wit’s use of light and shadow enhances the dramatic nature of the scene, creating a sense of awe and wonder. The drawing is housed in the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, Germany.
