"Ordination 1712" is a painting by the Italian artist Giuseppe Maria Crespi, also known as Lo Spagnuolo (1665–1747), who was a prominent painter of the Baroque period. This work is part of a series of seven canvases depicting the Sacraments, commissioned by Count Camillo Marini for his private chapel in Bologna. Crespi's series on the Sacraments is considered one of his masterpieces, showcasing his skill in capturing the human condition and the spiritual significance of these religious rites.

The painting "Ordination 1712" specifically illustrates the sacrament of Holy Orders, the process by which men are consecrated as deacons, priests, or bishops. Crespi's depiction is notable for its intimate and realistic portrayal of the ceremony, diverging from the grandiose and idealized representations typical of the time. The artist's use of chiaroscuro and his attention to the emotional subtleties of the figures contribute to the painting's dramatic effect and psychological depth.

Giuseppe Maria Crespi's work is characterized by a combination of naturalism and tenebrism, influenced by the Bolognese School and artists such as the Carracci family and Caravaggio. "Ordination 1712" exemplifies Crespi's innovative approach to religious subjects, where he infuses traditional iconography with a sense of immediacy and personal experience.

The painting is housed in the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan, Italy, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. As a key work in Crespi's oeuvre, "Ordination 1712" offers insight into the religious and cultural milieu of early 18th-century Italy, as well as the enduring legacy of Baroque art.
