anonim italian

About this artist

This anonymous 15th–16th-century Italian painter made biblical scenes with flat gold backgrounds and bold colors, typical of the early Renaissance. Look closely at Botezul lui Cristos în Iordan, where Christ stands waist-deep in the river while John the Baptist pours water over his head. The figures have calm, sculptural folds in their robes and sit against a glowing gold sky. Step inside the scene by tapping Botezul lui Cristos în Iordan to see more details of the ceremony.
