Why it's great
Jesus stands calmly in a little river while John the Baptist pours water over his head, and a dove floats above. Piero della Francesca painted it in about 1448, and it is famous for its quiet, still look.

P
Piero della Francesca was an Italian painter and mathematician, born in about 1415 in Sansepolcro. His calm, still pictures use geometry and clear light, with smooth, solid figures. He died in 1492.
