Botezul lui Iisus

About this work

This painting shows five figures in bright, flat colors. The person on the left stands tall, pointing upward, wearing a red robe over a patterned tunic. In the center, a figure with folded hands sits on a blue-and-white striped cloth. Two winged angels hover above, one holding a cross. Two kneeling women below wear headscarves and red dresses, looking up. The colors are bold—reds, blues, and golds—with a starry sky behind. The figures look stiff and slightly stiff, like they’re cut from paper. The artist used simple shapes and strong outlines to keep everything clear. Try looking up cross-hatching to see how artists build detail with lines.
