Working in Venice during the 16th century, Veronese employed a workshop of apprentice artists to complete his commissions. His workshop, called a bottega , produced many versions of this well-known biblical scene. Christ, at center, dips his feet in the River Jordan as John kneels and pours water over his head. The dove represents the Spirit of God, who descended from Heaven after Christ's Baptism to reaffirm his divinity.
