The painting of the Baptism of Christ that you shared is executed in the Neoclassical or Academic style prevalent in 19th-century European art, which prioritized clarity, idealism, and moralizing themes. Christ (God the Son) is baptized by John the Baptist, representing the new covenant; and God the Father is acknowledged by the angelic witnesses and the sanctioning of Christ’s mission, confirming his divine identity and inaugurating his public ministry of salvation.
