"The Baptism of Christ" is a bronze sculpture by Alessandro Algardi, created between 1610 and 1654. The sculpture depicts the moment when John the Baptist baptizes Jesus in the River Jordan, with a putto (winged cherub) holding a shell above Jesus' head. The work is known for its dynamic composition and realistic detail, characteristic of Algardi's High Baroque style. It is currently housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen, Denmark.
