In this episode of Anatomy of an Artwork, discover Poussin’s struggles with the format, find out how he distilled spiritual drama into such a small work, and learn how the work of Raphael may have influenced his depiction of God the Father. ‘The Baptism of Christ’ is a highlight of our upcoming Old Masters Evening Sale (4 December | London).
