# The Baptism of Christ with a Donor [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MORONI, Giovanni Battista]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 104 x 113 cm ## Commentary One of Moroni's most significant innovations was in the painting of devotional works in which the donor plays a dominant, integral role. Although his teacher, Moretto da Brescia, may have previously explored this approach, Moroni was the first to realize its full potential. This impressive painting is the greatest example of Moroni's accomplishment in this field. ## Related artworks - [A Gentleman in Adoration before the Madonna]() - [Abbess Lucrezia Agliardi Vertova]() - [Gian Lodovico Madruzzo]() - [Portrait of a Gentleman]() - [Portrait of a Gentleman]() - [Portrait of a Man]() - [Portrait of a Man]() - [Portrait of a Man]() - [Portrait of a Soldier]() - [Portrait of Antonio Navagero]() - [Portrait of Don Gabriel de la Cueva, later Duke of Alburquerque \(detail\)]() - [Portrait of Don Gabriel de la Cueva, later Duke of Alburquerque]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
