"St. Philip Baptising the Eunuch" is a 1677 painting by the French artist Claude Lorrain (born Claude Gellée), who is celebrated as one of the foremost figures of the classical landscape tradition in Western art. This work is a notable example of Claude's mature period, where he combined his mastery of landscape with religious narrative. The painting depicts the biblical episode from the Acts of the Apostles (8:26-40), in which Philip the Evangelist baptizes an Ethiopian eunuch, a high official of the Candace, Queen of the Ethiopians, who had been reading the Book of Isaiah while traveling in a chariot.

In this composition, Claude Lorrain showcases his skill in harmonizing the figures with the surrounding landscape, creating a serene and idyllic setting that enhances the spiritual and tranquil nature of the sacramental event. The use of light, a hallmark of Claude's style, is evident in the way it filters through the trees and reflects off the water, imbuing the scene with a divine presence. The classical architecture and the verdant landscape are rendered with meticulous detail, characteristic of Claude's work, and serve to frame the central act of baptism, guiding the viewer's eye to the interaction between Philip and the eunuch.

The painting is a testament to Claude Lorrain's influence on the development of landscape painting, as it exemplifies his ability to elevate the genre to a level of historical and poetic significance. "St. Philip Baptising the Eunuch" is not only a religious painting but also a reflection of the artist's deep appreciation for the natural world and his capacity to infuse it with classical and biblical grandeur. The work remains an important piece within Claude Lorrain's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical value, contributing to our understanding of 17th-century landscape painting.
