When the second Rome meets the third

More about When the second Rome meets the third

A dramatic scene of an outdoor baptism depicts a man with blond hair and brawny physique with a powerful chest and broad shoulders submerging himself in a bath. Water is being poured over his head from a small golden goblet by an old priest with long white hair and a beard, wearing an ornate red and gold robe with wide sleeves and a crown on his head. The priest is looking down at the man in the tub. The man receiving the baptism is looking upwards with his mouth slightly ajar and his eyes closed. His chest glistens with drops of water as the water from the goblet cascades down over his head and shoulders. People dressed in medieval attire, including a woman with a gold crown, are standing around the bath, watching. Some men in the background are wearing metal helmets and armor, with one man's arm and a golden suit of armor visible on the far left. The setting has high, dark columns in the background, suggesting a temple or a grand hall. Sunlight shines dramatically from above, highlighting the figures and creating a vibrant play of light and shadow, with noticeable lens flare. The overall color palette is earthy and rich, featuring deep reds, golds, and browns.
