Mosaic of the baptism of Christ on the dome of the Arian Baptistery in Ravenna
The themes of the mosaics here are quite similar to the older ones in the Neonian Baptistery, but the execution is quite different. Although both depict Christ, somewhat unusually, in full frontal nudity, the beardless Jesus in the Arian Baptistery is clearly the younger man. In the Arian version, Christ is physically at the center of the mosaic and also suspended in water without firm foundations under his feet.
