The Circumcision of Christ

The Circumcision of Christ
by Hans Leonhard
1505-06
Wood, 26 x 15 cm
Christian Museum, Esztergom

Too bad this is such a crappy reproduction. Trust me, you're going to want to zoom in for the creepy details as Jesus goes under the knife.

Now come on! No one could possibly believe this small person getting his foreskin sliced is a baby. Not even the simple-looking peasant with the red hat....
