The Nativity

The Nativity (detail)
by Guido da Siena
13th Century
Louvre Museum, Paris

Here's a charming nativity scene: a lady in blue lowers Mr. Squishy by his subliminal area into a giant cup. Another lady, dressed in aqua, holds a picture with dubious perspective as if she's about to dump water on Mr. S. Joseph, aka Huge Halo, is distracted and maybe a little bit grumpy that he's fathered a child with such bulgy eyes.

Joseph appears as though he might be grumpy, as he is afforded no privacy on the loo.
