"Baptism of Christ" is a renowned oil painting created around 1568 by the Spanish Mannerist painter Juan Fernández de Navarrete, also known as El Mudo (The Mute) due to his deafness. This work is one of Navarrete's most significant religious compositions and exemplifies his ability to convey biblical narratives with a profound sense of drama and spiritual intensity.

The painting depicts the biblical scene of Jesus Christ being baptized by John the Baptist in the River Jordan, a pivotal moment in Christian theology symbolizing the purification of sins and the beginning of Jesus's public ministry. Navarrete's rendition of this event is noted for its dynamic figures and the use of light to highlight the divine nature of the scene. The heavens are shown opening up above Christ, with a dove representing the Holy Spirit descending towards him, while God's presence is suggested by the emanating light.

Measuring approximately 345 cm × 495 cm, "Baptism of Christ" was originally commissioned for the Monastery of San Jerónimo de Espeja in Spain. The painting showcases Navarrete's mastery of color and composition, influenced by his studies of Italian Renaissance art, as well as his personal interpretation of the Mannerist style, characterized by elongated figures and an emphasis on complexity and artificiality over naturalism.

Today, "Baptism of Christ" is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and theological significance. It stands as a testament to Juan Fernández de Navarrete's contribution to Spanish Renaissance art and his ability to overcome personal challenges to create works of enduring spiritual and aesthetic value.
