"The Baptism of Christ" is a renowned oil painting by the Spanish Mannerist artist Juan Fernández de Navarrete, also known as El Mudo (The Mute) due to his deafness. Created in the late 16th century, specifically between 1567 and 1569, this work is one of Navarrete's most significant contributions to religious art and is often celebrated for its spiritual depth and artistic mastery.

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 that marks the beginning of Jesus's public ministry. Navarrete's rendition of this event is noted for its dramatic use of light and shadow, which serves to highlight the divine nature of the scene. The figures of Jesus and John are centrally placed, with the former standing in a serene, accepting posture as a dove, symbolizing the Holy Spirit, descends upon him with beams of heavenly light.

Navarrete's work is distinguished by its emotional intensity and the subtle interplay of colors, which convey the sanctity of the sacrament of baptism. The artist's attention to detail and his ability to convey the textures of the natural environment and the figures' garments demonstrate his skill and the influence of the Italian Renaissance, which he assimilated during his training.

"The Baptism of Christ" is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to be an object of admiration and study for its historical significance and aesthetic qualities. As a key work in Navarrete's oeuvre, it exemplifies the religious fervor and artistic innovation of the Spanish Golden Age and offers insight into the spiritual and cultural milieu of the period.
