EDITORS COMMENTS
The Baptism of Christ: Left Side Panel of Jean de Robionoy's Triptych, 1560 (Musee des Beaux-Arts, Verviers) This exquisite left side panel of Jean de Robionoy's Baptism of Christ triptych, painted in 1560, is a masterpiece of Early Netherlandish art. The painting depicts Saint John the Baptist, the forerunner of Jesus, baptizing Jesus Christ in the River Jordan. The scene is set against a backdrop of the biblical narrative, with various apostles and saints gathered on the riverbank, witnessing the momentous event. At the center of the composition, John the Baptist, dressed in camel's hair and a leather belt, stands in the river, holding a cross in one hand and a branch of reeds in the other. He pours water over Jesus' head as the Holy Spirit, represented by a dove descending from the open heavens, hovers above. Jesus, with his arms raised, gazes up at the dove, symbolizing his acceptance of God's will and the beginning of his public ministry. The painting's intricate details and rich symbolism reflect the artistic and theological sensibilities of the Renaissance period. The use of oil on wood and the vivid colors bring the figures to life, creating a sense of depth and realism. The triptych's left side panel, with its focus on Saint John the Baptist and the baptism of Jesus, emphasizes the importance of this event in the New Testament and the broader Christian liturgy. This painting, now housed in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Verviers, Belgium, is a testament to the artistic talent and religious devotion of Jean de Robionoy and the Early Netherlandish artistic tradition.
