The Baptism and the Flood

TINTORETTO. The Baptism of Christ. 1579-81
Oil on canvas. Scuola Grande di San Rocco, Venice
Note the contrast. Note the cataclysm. Note the apocalyptic imagery in Tintoretto's Baptism of Christ, suggesting that this event was not merely a detail in the life of Christ. It was a fulfillment of ages-old prophecy, as we see in this depiction. Consider this destructive imagery in light of its typological significance that relates to the great Deluge of Noah's time.
