The Holy Family with St. John the Baptist

The Holy Family with St. John the Baptist
by Hieronymus Cock (after Andrea del Sarto)
ca. 1560
Engraving
37 x 25.2 cm, 14 1/2 x 9 7/8 in. image

I confess that my main reason for posting this image is to draw your attention to the name of the artist: Hieronymus Cock. HIERONYMUS COCK!

I'm thinking a niche-market porn dvd, buried in a stack of art history books, something like "Want to know what
really happened in the Garden of Earthly Delights? Hieronymus Cock shows you all and more: upside down sex in strawberries, flutes stuffed in all orifices. No holes barred. XXX !!!!"
