Text Appearing Before Image:
of S. Giovanni executed in the previouscentury. The popularity of the work caused Verrocchios Baptism to serve as the model in all later representations of the theme. We find it repeated almost exactly by Credi for the monks of S. Domenico a Fiesole, and by the Robbias in each of their hexagonal fonts. Besides the reminiscence of Baldovinetti the painting shows to a striking degree the influence of Antonio Pollaiuolo, an influence which hardly survives in thework of his middle period, and is not at all perceptible in his later productions. Though in general lines andattitude the figures of Christ and the Baptist follow those of Baldovinetti, in structure and feature they resemble the athletes of Pollaiuolo. The brawny build, the knotted joints, the tense muscle, the bent legs, the faces with theirstrongly accentuated bone, harsh features, and sparse beards reproduce exactly the Pollaiuolesque type.

The colour and treatment of the distantlandscape is also somewhat Pollaiuolesque. With all its defects of composition and the lack oftechnical experience it reveals, the picture bears still morestriking evidence of the thoroughness of Verrocchio,straining in anatomy. The nude figure of Christ as ananatomical study is faultless. The construction of the head,torso and limbs, the indication of the bone, the realisation ofthe resistance of the muscle proves a complete knowledgeof the structure of the body. The excellence of the anatomyis incongruous to an almost grotesque degree with thenaivete of the action and the treatment of the foreground
