"Baptism in Jordan" is a woodcut print by the German Renaissance artist Hans Wechtlin I. This print depicts the biblical scene of John the Baptist baptizing Jesus in the River Jordan. The print depicts John the Baptist, standing in the river and pouring water over Jesus, with the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove descending from the sky. The print is a fine example of Wechtlin's skill in depicting detail, especially in the rendering of the figures and the landscape. His use of hatching and cross-hatching helps create a sense of depth and volume. This scene is a significant event in Christian tradition, symbolizing Jesus's entrance into his public ministry.
