Dear Rogier van der Weyden


I love this painting so much. L'il Jesus is so stoked to eat and so full of love and laughter! Look at his little feet, toes and fingers all spread in joyful anticipation. His eyes are smiling. Christ, how cute! St Luke is taking notes. Or perhaps makes a sketch of the lady, child and boob. Rogier, thank you for giving your rendition of how what might have been!

I can stare at this one forever. I've seen it live, in Boston. Might have to go there again just to take another look.
