The Lactation of St Bernard

The Lactation of St Bernard
by Master IAM of Zwolle
1480-85
Engraving, 320 x 241 mm
Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam

So Saint Bernard is hanging out in a lovely Gothic cathedral, reading the bible with his trusty miniature lion by his side. Suddenly, Mary and Jesus appear and Mary squirts Bernard on the forehead with her breast milk.

Jesus is totally chill with the milk projectile situation--he maintains his good posture throughout.
