2/2 Watch what you do with that spindle mother! Some peasants, without visitors, by the Le Nain brothers in 1645.
3/3 Adoration of the shepherds, 1640. Because of course the Le Nain brothers would never paint the kings! And it's their day today.
2/2 Women messing with men's heads du jour: Saint Catherine of Alexandria w/ we think the head of Emperor Maxentius. Could be anybody's head, really! by Cristobal de Villalpando, at the end of his day,
2/2 Joseph has made it big in Egypt and now messes with his awful brothers by claiming Benjamin as a slave. Highly unusual subject painted by Cristobal de Villalpando, whose day is today.
2/2 Another Annunciation by Cristóbal de Villalpando. No choir of angels or visiting sun, but this one does include a cat!
2/2 Saint Julian and the Redeemer, by Andrea del Castagno who died (alas!) on this day in 1457.
2/2 Nail-biting suspense of uroscopy -- is our feather-hatted lady pregnant? Tense moment, from Egbert van Heemskerck. It's his day.
No, this is not the doctor you want attending to your head wounds. But that's what the peasants had, back in the day, as illustrated by doctor's son Egbert van Heemskerck.
Susanna & the Elders: one of the tamer images from the Lascivie of painter Agostino Carracci, who had a successful side-line in printed porn. Today is his day.
Good morning! A beautiful Annunciation by Agostino Carracci, who was born on this day, in Bologna, in 1557.
