Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Baptism of Christ

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - The Baptism of Christ at Tornabuoni Chapel follows a traditional scheme: for example, the naked man resembles that of Masaccio's Brancacci Chapel, while the Christ is similar to the panel by Verrocchio and Leonardo at the Uffizi.The graceful landscape in the background is divided by a spur which creates a frame around Christ's figure. The two pairs of figures at the sides, again hastily painted, were executed by Ghirlandaio's workshop following his design.
Reason
In my opinion it meets all the criteria.
