Baptism of Christ by Verrocchio, Leonardo da Vinci Card

Baptism of Christ (1472-1475) by Andrea del Verrocchio and Leonardo da Vinci is a fine art vintage Renaissance Era religious portrait painting featuring the Baptism of Jesus Christ on the banks of the Jordan River by Saint John the Baptist as recorded in the Biblical Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. God's hands can be seen at the top of the painting coming from heaven as it opens up. A dove and rays of sunlight shine through which symbolize the holy spirit shining above them revealing Jesus's divine nature. The two angels are standing in front of a palm tree which symbolizes salvation and life, one is holding Jesus's clothes, the other has his hands folded. The angel on the left is attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. Finished in the studio of Italian painter Andrea del Verrocchio and generally ascribed to him and his pupil Leonardo da Vinci. Some art historians discern the hands of other members of Verrocchio's workshop in the painting as well.
