Légende
The Baptism of Christ in the Jordan, c. 1480-90. Christ wades in the Jordan River to be blessed by John the Baptist, whose left hand rests on a book of scripture, signifying the fulfillment of prophecy. Overhead, the Spirit of God approvingly descends in the form of a dove. Schongauer?s engraved lines inventively emulate different natural qualities and textures, for example the fur of John?s robe, the figures? spiraling locks of hair, and the stippled wings of the angel.
