PERUGINO, Pietro Baptism of Christ oil painting on canvas

Baptism of Christ
1482 Fresco, 335 x 540 cm Cappella Sistina, Vatican The fresco is from the cycle of the life of Christ in the Sistine Chapel. It was painted by Perugino and Pinturicchio, the latter being probably responsible for the landscape and minor scenes. The paintings were to be read in pairs, one from the left and one from the right. Thus the Baptism of Christ faces the Circumcision of Moses' son by Perugino and Pinturicchio. A comparison of the pairs of scenes shows clearly that the principal concern was to show how the new religion of Christ was deeper and more spiritual than the Jewish religion. Thus the pair of frescoes showing the Baptism and the Circumcision emphasize how baptism - prefigured, according to Augustine and many of the Fathers of Church, by circumcision - represents a "spiritual circumcision."Artist:PERUGINO, Pietro Title: Baptism of Christ Painted in 1451-1500 , Italian - - painting : religious
