''Baptism of Christ'' (1448-50) is a renowned Early Renaissance painting by the Italian master Piero della Francesca. This seminal artwork, which measures 168 cm × 116 cm (66 in × 46 in), is housed in the National Gallery, London. The painting depicts the biblical scene of John the Baptist baptizing Christ in the River Jordan, as described in the Gospels. This event marks the beginning of Jesus' public ministry and is a significant subject in Christian art.

Piero della Francesca's interpretation of the Baptism of Christ is celebrated for its serene and geometrically harmonious composition, as well as its use of perspective and light to create a sense of depth and volume. The painting is characterized by its calm figures and the use of clear, bright colors that would become a hallmark of della Francesca's style. The artist's mathematical approach to composition and his interest in the effects of light are evident in the way the figures are arranged within the landscape and how the light seems to emanate from Christ himself, symbolizing divine presence.

The work is also notable for its detailed landscape, which includes meticulously painted trees and a representation of the dove of the Holy Spirit descending from an opening in the sky, aligned with Christ and the Baptist, creating a vertical axis that is both compositionally and theologically significant.

Piero della Francesca's ''Baptism of Christ'' is a masterpiece of the Early Renaissance, reflecting the transition from the medieval period to a new era of art that emphasized realism, scientific perspective, and a deeper exploration of human and divine subjects. The painting is an important example of the artist's contribution to the development of Renaissance art and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its influence on subsequent generations of artists.
