This engraving by Gustave Doré depicts a scene of religious conversion, with a group of people being baptized in a large baptismal font. The scene is set in a church interior, with ornate arches and stonework. The artist’s meticulous attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the clothing, gestures, and expressions of the figures, creating a sense of drama and solemnity. Doré's dramatic style and ability to capture the grandeur and emotion of religious scenes are on full display in this piece, "The Baptism of Infidels".
