The Dresden Altarpiece (central panel)by Albrecht Durer
1496
Oil on canvas, 117 x 96,5 cm
Gemäldegalerie, Dresden
Weird, semi-transparent angels lower a crown onto Mary's head, while she prays over squishy Jesus.
What's unclear is why a Flemish style home can be seen out the window (in Bethleham?) and why a wee little guy with no pants is waving a mop over the sleeping Jesus.
