Holy Family

Holy Family
by Bernaert van Orley
1522
Oil tempera on wood, 90 x 74 cm
Museo del Prado, Madrid

After the previous painting showing Squishy Jesus running from Mary, I thought it would be nice to show him running towards her. Apparently, Jesus has been running to Mary's breast quite a bit, since he's looking mighty chubby.

Jesus looks up at the crown a helpful angel is placing on Mary's head. The artist has signed and dated the painting in a trompe l’oeil scrap of paper resting in lower right corner.
