''Baptism of Christ'' is a renowned fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Pietro Vannucci, commonly known as Perugino. The artwork, which dates from the late 15th century, vividly depicts the biblical scene of John the Baptist baptizing Jesus Christ in the River Jordan, a momentous event in Christian theology that signifies the beginning of Jesus's public ministry.

Perugino, celebrated for his graceful figures and use of perspective, was a master of the Umbrian school of painting and a contemporary of Raphael, who was one of his pupils. The ''Baptism of Christ'' is lauded for its serene and harmonious composition, characterized by a clear, calm landscape that reflects the influence of the Early Renaissance emphasis on nature, humanism, and a balanced, ordered approach to space and form.

The fresco is part of a series of works created for the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, where Perugino was one of several artists, including Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, and Michelangelo, commissioned to decorate the walls with scenes from the lives of Moses and Jesus. Perugino's contribution to the chapel's decoration is significant, as it showcases the transition from the medieval period to the Renaissance through its use of linear perspective and volumetric depiction of figures.

In the ''Baptism of Christ'', the central figures of Jesus and John the Baptist are flanked by a group of angels on one side and the patron saints of the Sistine Chapel on the other, creating a symmetrical arrangement that draws the viewer's eye to the focal event. The use of light, color, and the detailed rendering of the landscape and figures exemplify Perugino's skill in creating a tranquil and spiritually uplifting scene.

The fresco is not only a testament to Perugino's artistic prowess but also an important piece of religious art that has been studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and its role in the development of Renaissance art. The ''Baptism of Christ'' continues to be a subject of scholarly interest and is regarded as one of Perugino's masterpieces, reflecting the ideals of beauty and piety that were central to the Renaissance movement.
