About this work

This painting shows a man standing in water while two robed figures stand on either side of him. One holds a cross, the other a white cloth. Above them, a bright light shines down on a haloed face. Around the edges, smaller circles hold more figures with serious faces. The text at the top is in a different language. The colors are bold—red robes, gold halos, and a dark green background. Look up composition next to see how artists arrange figures in a scene.
