Miracolosa Immagine di Maria Santissima della Quercia che si venera nella Chiesa dei PP Domenicani presso Viterbo
A devotional image of the Madonna of the Oak in Viterbo, Italy. St Dominic and St Catherine of Siena are praying at the foot of the tree.
This is a cool blog but I also sort of like religious art anyway (my favorite section of the Getty in LA.). A pretty consistent theme of magical realism I suppose.
Peeps in one of the Chinese dynasties really dug it too, they kept European missionaries to draw their royalty in that style.
