Buried with Him by Baptism c. 1765

Paul Revere’s engraving "Buried with Him by Baptism" (c. 1765) depicts the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River. The image portrays Jesus being submerged in the water as a dove descends from the heavens and God speaks from above. The figure of John the Baptist is also depicted, and a group of people observe the baptism. The engraving is a good example of Revere’s work as an engraver, and is an important part of his artistic legacy. The image is a powerful representation of the biblical scene, and continues to be relevant for art lovers today.
