In Acts 8:26-40, an angel directs the evangelist Philip to a desert road. There, Philip meets an Ethiopian treasurer reading Isaiah, explains the scripture as about Jesus, and baptizes him.

"The Baptism of Clorinda" is a famous tragic scene from Torquato Tasso's 16th-century epic poem, Jerusalem Delivered (Gerusalemme Liberata). It depicts a Christian knight, Tancredi, who unknowingly battles and mortally wounds his beloved, Clorinda—a fierce Muslim warrior-maiden. Discovering her identity after unlacing her helmet, a devastated Tancredi baptizes the dying Clorinda at her own request so her soul can be saved.
