# The Baptism of Christ [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [CARRACCI, Annibale]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Oil on canvas ## Commentary Annibale Carracci's religious compositions are almost always set in wide spaces enhanced by luminous and deep landscapes. The figures are invariably in classical poses but these do not seem at all forced or unnatural. ## Related artworks - [A Sea God Abducts a Woman \(detail\)]() - [A Sea God Abducts a Woman]() - [Assumption of the Virgin Mary]() - [Assumption of the Virgin]() - [Atlante]() - [Butcher's Shop \(detail\)]() - [Butcher's Shop]() - [Ceiling fresco]() - [Ceiling fresco]() - [Ceiling fresco]() - [Cephalus and Aurora]() - [Christ and the Woman of Samaria]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
