Madonna and Child with Saints Francis and Sebastian

Madonna and Child with Saints Francis and Sebastian
By Carlo Crivelli
1491
Oil and egg on poplar, 175 x151 cm
National Gallery, London

Poor baby Jesus is scared to death and clinging to mom, and who can blame him?

Don't you kind of wonder how St. Sebastian keeps his hair so nice when he's all shot up with arrows?

Don't you kind of wonder why there's a pickle hanging to the left of St. Sebastian's head?
