    I recently found this one in Lyon in Notre-Dame de Fourvière and really liked how they used the halo as light source

      That’s beautiful and you’re right that the halo effect is very cool. Joseph also happens to look like a dirtbag- I feel like he’s going to try to sell me an assortment of random pills he’s scavenged from people

    In the first image, legend says that Jesus is about to perform the miracle of hair restoration

    It’s neat to see that in the last image, all different types of things are observing what seems like Mary and baby Jesus just going for a stroll.

      Yeah, very interesting how some iconography got maintained (like the halo, the winged angels, the dark blue sky for Mary) and other got either applied unduly (I think the last painting is of two old men lifting on a young girl, they wouldn’t have half in European paintings) or forgotten (the knife of Judas during the last supper).

      Assuming that’s the Last Supper in the first image then he’s somewhere in it because there are 12 people with Jesus
