Altar of St. John the Baptist 1520

Hans Baldung's "Altar of St. John the Baptist" from 1520 depicts the baptism of Christ in a triptych format, common in the Northern Renaissance. The central panel features the titular figure of St. John the Baptist baptizing Christ, while the flanking panels display St. John the Evangelist and St. John the Baptist as a bishop. The work showcases Baldung's masterful use of detail, vivid colors, and complex iconography, which was characteristic of his artistic style.
