Madonna of Large Eyes
Madonna of Large Eyes
by an Unknown Italian Master
c. 1260
Tempera on panel
Museo dell' Opera del Duomo, Siena
I guess that the Unknown Master was short on female models when he painted Mary, because he seems to have used an old man in a bathrobe. That worked out so well that he used an old man for a a model for baby Jesus, too.
Peace!
