Baptism of Christ

"The Baptism of Christ" (c.1609) by El Greco and his son

On January 12th, the Catholic Church celebrates the baptism of Christ by John the Baptist.

"The Baptism of Christ" (c.1609) by El Greco and his son is not a Baroque piece, but you can see how the colors, movement and expressiveness of the subjects influenced Baroque artists. I love how they tied in the Holy Trinity of Father, Holy Spirit and down to the Son (Jesus).

The painting is housed at Hospital de Tavera in Toledo, Spain.

One of my favorite things about El Greco is how it is so easy to pick out his work when browsing art galleries because of his signature style. What do you love about El Greco? ?
