Baptism in a Church 1605 - 1656

"Baptism in a Church" is a 17th-century painting by Bartholomäus Miltwitz, currently held at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The painting depicts a scene within a church, with a baptismal ceremony taking place in the foreground. The composition features a deep, expansive interior with high vaulted ceilings, characteristic of Baroque architectural style. This painting is a prime example of Miltwitz's skill in depicting architectural details and creating a sense of depth and perspective within a confined space. The scene is filled with figures, contributing to the immersive and realistic portrayal of a religious event within a grand church setting.
