Jesu Dåb 1637 - 1724

"Jesu Dåb" (The Baptism of Jesus) is a detailed pen and ink drawing created by Italian artist Sigismondo Caula between 1637 and 1724. The drawing, currently held by the Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark, depicts the biblical scene of Jesus' baptism by John the Baptist. Caula captures the moment with remarkable detail, showcasing the figures' postures and expressions with meticulous strokes. The scene is rendered with a sense of depth, using subtle shading to create a sense of light and shadow, adding to the overall realism of the drawing. This piece is a testament to Caula's skill and his dedication to rendering religious subjects with both artistic skill and historical accuracy.
