The Baptism of Pocahontas





This picture was painted by John Gadsby Champman.  I love the symbology and nuances in it. The portayal says so many things....Pocohontas herself looks so forlorn.  This was a turning back of everything she knew and the need to embrace a new God.  I assume she knew what she was doing.  I also love her brother...huddled in the shadows.
