Madonna and Child with Saints

Madonna and Child with Saints
By Giovanni Di Paolo
15th century
Tempera on panel

Let us pray:

Dear Lord,

We thank you for sending us your son, and we hate to mention silly details, but, well, he is a bit on the large side for a baby. This makes it rather difficult for us to hold him in this painting. Since we all praying so piously and we have such nice butt chins, could you kindly downsize him just a little bit?

Amen.

xxxoooo, Mary and Saints
