Botezul lui IS HS
1850
From the collection of National Museum of Art of Romania
Botezul lui IS HS is a 1850 by Unknown, depicting Angel, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows three figures in bright, flat colors. One man kneels beside a baptismal font, holding a cross staff. Another man stands in the water, looking up. A third figure with wings and a scroll floats above them. The sky is blue with gold clouds, and the ground has bold red and yellow stripes. Notice the cross-hatching on the angel’s robe—it’s a way to show texture with lines. The words around the edges are in an old script, adding to the religious feel. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists use lines to create depth.
