Malta, St John’s Co-Cathedral: The Baptism of Christ statue at St John’s Co-Cathedral, Valletta, Malta was begun by Melchiorre Gafà in 1666, but he died before finishing it. Decades later, his pupil Giuseppe Mazzuoli completed it in marble, not bronze, as a tribute to his master. The two lifelike figures are carved from a single marble block. It is one of many astonishing works of art at the cathedral.
