"The Sacrament of Baptism" is a 1642 oil on canvas painting by the French artist Nicolas Poussin, a leading painter of the classical French Baroque style. This artwork is part of a series of seven paintings depicting the Seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church, which Poussin was commissioned to create for his patron, Cassiano dal Pozzo, a Roman scholar and collector of art. The series is considered one of Poussin's most significant contributions to religious art and reflects his deep engagement with theological themes and the human condition.

Measuring 95 cm × 121 cm (37 in × 48 in), "The Sacrament of Baptism" illustrates the Christian rite of initiation, capturing the moment of a baptism ceremony. The composition is carefully structured, with figures arranged in a serene and balanced manner that is characteristic of Poussin's work. The painting is imbued with a sense of solemnity and reverence, as the central figures—the priest, the godparents, and the infant—become the focal point of the viewer's attention.

Poussin's use of color, light, and shadow in this painting enhances the spiritual atmosphere, drawing the viewer into a contemplative engagement with the sacrament's significance. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey the narrative through gesture and expression demonstrate his mastery of the classical style.

"The Sacrament of Baptism" and the other paintings in the series were highly praised for their clarity, harmony, and intellectual rigor. They had a profound impact on the development of religious art in France and influenced generations of artists. Today, the painting is recognized as a masterpiece of 17th-century French art and an important example of Poussin's religious oeuvre. It is housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and spiritual depth.
