The Baptism of Christ

Saint John baptises Christ, watched by a group of onlookers, while the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove descends from heaven. This was probably painted in Venice. It is strongly influenced by the work of Paolo Veronese and Johann Rottenhammer, who were both working in Venice.
