Virgin & Child with St. John the Baptist & St. Francis

Virgin & Child with St. John the Baptist & St. Francis
By Sandro Botticelli
1480-90

Just when I think I've seen the most awkward Virgin and Child post, something like this comes along.  Is Mary hanging Squishy by spiderwebs or what?  And this is no b-side "Master of the Podunk Altarpiece": this a Botticelli!!!!!
