Madonna of Humility
by Giovanni di Paolo
c. 1435
Tempera on panel, 62 x 48 cm
Pinacoteca Nazionale, Siena
Mary feels humility for her unfortunate looking child. Jesus is on the skinny side, yet has weird Michelin Man fat rolls on his arms.
Have a closer look at the super cool landscape in the background. I think the white lumps are mountains, and the squares are fields--rather like a chessboard.
