''Baptism of Christ'' is a renowned fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Pietro Vannucci, commonly known as Perugino, executed around 1482. The artwork is a significant example of Perugino's mature style, showcasing his mastery in depicting serene landscapes, harmonious compositions, and delicate figures imbued with a sense of grace and tranquility. The fresco is part of a series of scenes depicting the life of Christ, located in the Sistine Chapel, Vatican City.

The composition of the ''Baptism of Christ'' centers on the figures of Jesus and John the Baptist, set against a backdrop of a calm, idyllic landscape that is characteristic of Perugino's work. Jesus is depicted standing in the shallow waters of the River Jordan, receiving the sacrament of baptism from John. Above them, the heavens open to reveal the Holy Spirit descending in the form of a dove, symbolizing divine approval of the momentous event. The presence of God the Father is often implied by a segment of the divine light or a voice from above, completing the Holy Trinity's representation.

Perugino's use of perspective and his ability to create a sense of depth are evident in the receding landscape, which features a clear blue sky and distant mountains. The figures are arranged in a calm and balanced manner, with a group of angels on the left and the saints and onlookers on the right, all witnessing the sacred event. The fresco's color palette is soft and harmonious, with a predominance of blues, greens, and earth tones that enhance the peaceful atmosphere of the scene.

The ''Baptism of Christ'' by Perugino is a significant work in the history of art, not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its influence on contemporary and future artists, including Raphael, who was Perugino's pupil. The fresco reflects the ideals of the High Renaissance, emphasizing clarity, order, and beauty, and stands as a testament to Perugino's skill as a leading artist of his time.
