This is a reproduction of “The Baptism of Christ” of 1674 by John Heiss. This early Baroque masterpiece is in the Blackfriar’s Church in Augsburg, Germany. The church dates from 1243 as a center of the bare-footed monks of the Franciscans. The original convent and church were burned in 1398 and in 1411 a new building was raised. The first Protestant sermon was given in 1524 and in the eighteenth century the church was rebuilt in the style of the Baroque. The artist died in 1704 in Augsburg at the age of sixty-four.
