I'll show you anyway, lol.

Sweethearts, let me introduce

Mary and Child Surrounded by Seraphim and Cherubim by Jean Fouquet (1452)

Just. Just look at it. The Megamind forehead. The Basket Case-esque baby Jesus. The perfectly round boobs. The "whatever the fuck is going on with their faces" angels.

It's beautiful. I love it.

MWW Artwork of the Day (2/22/23) Jean Fouquet (French, c. 1420-c. 1480) Simon de Varie Kneeling in Prayer (1455) Tempera, gold paint, gold leaf & ink on parchment, 11.4 x 8.3 cm. The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles

As part of the multi-page frontispiece to his personal prayer book, the patron, Simon de Varie, kneels in prayer to the Virgin. She appears in the miniature on the facing page, enthroned with the baby Jesus. Although not a soldier, Varie wears armor and a surcoat decorated with the fleur-de-lis. Behind him a female attendant supports a shield crowned with his family emblems, while similar coats of arms, now partially overpainted, and Varie's personal mottoes decorate the border. These signs of his new noble status are clearly significant to Varie, who rose from the merchant class through his work as an official in the French royal treasury. Although the artist Jean Fouquet presented Simon and the Virgin in separate miniatures, he linked the interior spaces of the two illuminations.
