Buried with Him by Baptism is a 1765 ink by Paul Revere, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a baptism scene with two people in water, one holding a baby. Above them, a bright light shines down, and a dove floats nearby. On the right, a group of people stands watching, while on the left, a small village sits by a river. Notice the text at the top and bottom—it’s all about baptism and rebirth. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and light, giving the scene depth. Check out how this work uses engraving to make detailed textures.
