Another great Maltese artist

Paul Camilleri Cauchi's painting of the Blessed Mother in Gharb, Gozo, (Malta)

During Lent, I shared with you the works of sculptor Michael Camilleri Cauchi, producing two beautiful statues of Jesus crowned with thorns, and another one of Jesus falling under the cross. His brother Paul is another accomplished artist in his own right, producing prolifically all over the island of Malta in various churches, painting ceilings, domes, and altar-pieces with exceptional creativity, color and movement.

His style is evident from these paintings I here reproduce, all of which are photos I took in my recent visit to Malta. Along with my favorite Maltese painter Emvin Cremona, Paul Camilleri Cauchi has left his indelible mark all over the island of Malta, even though he is originally from the sister island Gozo, 5 miles northwest of Malta. Sacred art in Malta has become the envy of many other countries, thanks to these two and other artists.
