"Infant Christ Offering a Drink of Water to St. John the Baptist" is a significant oil painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created circa 1670-1675. This artwork is a prime example of Murillo's religious compositions, which often depict tender and intimate moments from the lives of biblical figures, particularly those from the New Testament. The painting portrays a young Jesus Christ, identifiable by his halo, offering a shell filled with water to his cousin, Saint John the Baptist, also a child at the time. This scene, not directly taken from biblical texts, is instead an imaginative representation of the relationship between the two figures, emphasizing themes of compassion, innocence, and the purity of childhood.

Murillo's mastery in capturing the innocence of youth and his soft, warm palette contribute to the serene and affectionate atmosphere of the painting. The figures are set against a landscape that suggests a divine or idyllic setting, which was a common characteristic of Murillo's works. The artist's ability to convey the divine nature of his subjects while also rendering them with a sense of realism and humanity is a hallmark of his style.

"Infant Christ Offering a Drink of Water to St. John the Baptist" is a testament to Murillo's reputation as one of the most important and influential figures in Spanish Baroque art. His paintings were highly sought after during his lifetime and continue to be celebrated for their emotional depth and technical skill. This particular work is held in high esteem among Murillo's oeuvre and remains an important piece for the study of Spanish art of the 17th century. It is also a poignant example of the artist's enduring fascination with childhood and the humanization of sacred themes.
