"The Baptism of Christ" is a renowned early Renaissance painting completed between 1472 and 1475 by the Italian master Andrea del Verrocchio. This work is significant for its demonstration of the transition from the medieval Gothic style to the more naturalistic Renaissance approach. The painting depicts the biblical scene of John the Baptist baptizing Jesus Christ in the River Jordan, a moment of great theological importance as it represents the recognition of Jesus as the Son of God.

The artwork is a collaborative piece, with evidence suggesting that Verrocchio's pupil, the young Leonardo da Vinci, contributed to the painting, particularly in the rendering of the angel on the left and some of the landscape. This contribution is noteworthy as it showcases Leonardo's early promise and innovative techniques, such as his use of chiaroscuro and a keen observation of nature, which would later become hallmarks of his work.

Measuring 177 cm × 151 cm, the painting is executed in oil and tempera on a poplar panel. It is currently housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, a testament to its enduring significance in the canon of Italian Renaissance art. The work is admired for its detailed portrayal of the figures and the use of perspective, which creates a sense of depth and realism. The composition, with its harmonious arrangement of figures and landscape, and the masterful use of light to model the forms, exemplifies the emerging Renaissance ideals of beauty, proportion, and naturalism.

"The Baptism of Christ" stands as a pivotal work in the history of art, not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its role in the development of the artist's workshop practice, where the collaboration between master and apprentice contributed to the evolution of artistic techniques and styles. The painting remains an important subject of study for art historians and a beloved masterpiece for visitors to the Uffizi Gallery.
