"Baptism of Jesus" is a watercolor painting by French artist James Jacques Joseph Tissot, depicting the biblical event of Jesus Christ's baptism by John the Baptist in the River Jordan, as narrated in the Gospels of the New Testament. This work is part of Tissot's extensive series of illustrations of the Bible, which he began after a revelatory religious experience in the Church of Saint-Sulpice, Paris, that deeply influenced his artistic direction.

The painting captures the moment of Jesus' immersion in the water, with John the Baptist performing the rite. Tissot's attention to detail and historical accuracy is evident in the depiction of the figures' clothing and the surrounding landscape, reflecting his commitment to portraying the life of Christ with authenticity. The artist's travels to the Holy Land in the 1880s provided him with the geographical and cultural insights that he incorporated into his biblical works, striving to create a visual narrative that was both faithful to the scriptures and resonant with the contemporary viewer.

Tissot's "Baptism of Jesus" is characterized by its delicate use of color and light, capturing the spiritual significance of the event. The artwork is part of Tissot's larger body of work, "The Life of Jesus Christ," which consists of 365 watercolor paintings that were later published as a series of illustrations. These works were exhibited extensively during Tissot's lifetime and contributed to a resurgence of popular interest in biblical art at the turn of the 20th century.

The painting is now housed in the Brooklyn Museum, New York, as part of the museum's collection of Tissot's biblical watercolors. It continues to be an object of study for scholars interested in the intersection of art, religion, and history, as well as a source of inspiration for those drawn to its spiritual and artistic qualities.
