"The Baptism of Christ" is a renowned painting created between 1472 and 1475, attributed to the Italian Renaissance master Andrea del Verrocchio and his pupil, Leonardo da Vinci. This artwork is particularly significant as it marks one of the earliest known collaborations between the master and his apprentice, showcasing the nascent genius of Leonardo. The painting depicts the biblical scene of the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist, a momentous event in Christian theology symbolizing purification and the beginning of Jesus' public ministry.

Leonardo's contribution to the painting is a subject of scholarly interest and admiration. He is believed to have painted the young angel holding Jesus' robe on the left side of the composition. This figure is distinguished by its ethereal beauty, delicate features, and the use of sfumato—a technique Leonardo would later perfect, characterized by the subtle blending of colors and tones. The angel's serene expression and the intricate rendering of its curls and drapery demonstrate Leonardo's burgeoning skill and his departure from the more rigid and linear style of his master, Verrocchio.

The painting is executed in tempera and oil on wood, a common medium of the time, allowing for vibrant colors and detailed textures. The landscape in the background, attributed to Leonardo, is rendered with a keen observation of nature, featuring a river, rocky formations, and a distant horizon that imbues the scene with depth and realism. This attention to naturalistic detail would become a hallmark of Leonardo's later works.

"The Baptism of Christ" is housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, where it continues to be a focal point for art historians and enthusiasts. The painting not only exemplifies the collaborative nature of Renaissance workshops but also serves as a testament to Leonardo da Vinci's early promise and his enduring legacy in the annals of art history.
