text:
The Baptism of Christ is a casein tempera and gold on canvas painting measuring 176cm x 230cm and dating to around 1506. It and The Holy Family and the Family of Saint John the Baptist were painted by Andrea Mantegna for his funerary chapel at the Basilica of Sant'Andrea, Mantua - the chapel was dedicated to John the Baptist, hence the choice of subjects. They were both found in his studio after his death by his son Francesco and placed in the chapel, where they still hang. Baptism is incomplete
