The Baptism of Christ; Pharoah Passing through the Red Sea; Joshua and Caleb is a 1465 ink by Netherlandish 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This woodcut page features three scenes from the Bible. The top scene shows a figure in a doorway, while the middle scene depicts a baptism with an angel above and people on either side. The bottom scene shows a figure standing in an archway. The scenes are rendered in a simple, yet detailed style, with intricate lines and textures. The use of woodcut as a medium adds a sense of depth and dimensionality to the images.
