Christmas Greetings

 



Madonna and Child
with Saints John the Baptist, Jerome, Laurence, and Dominic
Mariano di Ser Austerio da Perugia, c. 1493
(I wonder, has anybody discovered anything interesting recently?)

And as at every Christmas, greetings from the grandchildren:




(As an aside, the Mariano altarpiece above was restored due to a grant from a couple who are members of the California Chapter of the Patrons of the Arts in the Vatican Museum.  That's certainly a worthy endeavor!  But since I could never qualify as a restorer of medieval art, I guess I'll stick to trains.)
