2/2 Study of a young girl, smiling, by Jean Baptiste Greuze. Today is his day.
Women messing with men's heads du jour: Saint Catherine of Alexandria w/ we think head of Emperor Maxentius. Could be anybody's head, really! by Cristobal de Villalpando.
2/2 Joseph has made it big in Egypt and now messes with his awful brothers by accusing Benjamin of theft. Unusual subject painted by Cristobal de Villalpando.
3/3 Virgin in the Mystic City of God, because Cristobal de Villalpando did heavenly geographies too. And today is his day.
2/2 Archangel Michael once again, with new and improved banner,1680. Favorite figure for Cristobal da Villalpando, whose day is today.
The Fighting Angels of Mexico City: this one (Michael) by Cristóbal de Villalpando, who died (alas!) on this day in 1714.
4/4 Extra bonus up top: Cross with instruments of the passion. Cristobal de Villalpando, pulling out all the iconographic stops on this one! Moses is of course here too. Double billing!
Below: Moses and the Brazen Serpent. Above: Christ's Transfiguration. Mexican Baroque, packing it all in there in 1683 with 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, so that's good. Today is his day.
2/2 Saint Julian and the Redeemer, by Andrea del Castagno who died (alas!) on this day in 1457.
