弗朗切斯卡原籍在中部意大利,后移居托斯卡纳地区的圣塞波尔克罗小镇,这个位于亚平宁山脉下的特韦雷河边荒凉小镇,既冷僻又宁静,阳光灿烂,风光明媚,这无疑影响他的思维和艺术风格。
画家将《基督受洗礼》置于他自己生活过的自然环境:沐浴在灿烂阳光下的小河边 。
据《圣经》新约篇中记述:耶稣从加利利来到约旦河边,见了约翰,就请约翰给他施洗,约翰连忙拦住他,说:“我当受你的洗,你反倒上我这里来,要受我的洗! ”耶稣说:“你暂且答应我吧,因为我们理当这样尽诸般的义。”于是约翰同意给他施洗。耶稣刚受完洗,从水里出来,天忽然为他开了,他看见上帝的灵仿佛鸽子一样落在他身上,天上传来声音,说:“这是我的爱子,是我所喜悦的。”
画面主体形象是约翰用河水为耶稣施洗,正在此时天空飞来一只鸽子,那是上帝显灵。画家以对光和色彩敏感创造了画面深远的空间感,他的画是具有科学性的技法探索成果,将透视与光色结合起来塑造艺术形象,以形成自己的艺术个性。
In 1442 Piero was recorded as town councillor in Borgo San Sepolcro. This painting is his first important commission in this period, originally it was painted for the Chapel of San Giovanni in the Pieve.
The most striking feature of this painting is the extraordinary lighting from above, creating delicate pastel colours, with pale shadows that surround the figures and enhance their three dimensionality. At the centre, the figure of Christ is portrayed as a simple man, but his stance is so solemn as to make him look as majestic as a Greek god. His torso and his legs are circular and solid, like the tree on the left; the holy dove, like a little cloud, fits into a patch of sky amidst the foliage of the tree, rendered with almost Impressionistic strokes.
The three angels on the left, with their pale but round faces, are reminiscent of the groups of children sculpted by Luca della Robbia for the Cantoria in Florence Cathedral (1432-38): and even their blonde hair, decorated with garlands, is clearly inspired by Luca's models. The face of the angel in the centre, with his fixed gaze, brings to mind Domenico Veneziano paintings in the mid-1430s.
