Baptism of Christ (Caracciolo)

Baptism of Christ is a 1610-1615 oil on canvas painting by Battistello Caracciolo, now in the Girolamini, Naples.[1][2]

History

The first written reference to the work is by Carlo Celano,[3] who mentions it as already being in the Girolamini,[4] It had very probably arrived there as part of Domenico Lercaro's art collection, bequeathed to the Oratorians in 1623.
