Four miniatures of the life of Christ from a gospel book of 1311 (Presentation, Baptism, Transfiguration, Entry into Jerusalem) 1311

This miniature, depicting the Baptism of Christ, is part of a larger set of four miniatures that narrate key events from the life of Christ. It was created by T'oros the Deacon in 1311, during the Cilician Armenian kingdom. The scene is set in a detailed architectural structure, with angels and figures dressed in vibrant colors. The artist's detailed style and use of gold paint highlight the religious significance of the event, making it a prime example of Armenian illuminated manuscripts.
