What is going on in this painting?!
Every facial expression in this painting just kills me.
Just take a moment to zoom in on it all. It's insane.
Baby Jesus is sooooo displeased with the wise man's gift. The other two wisemen are clearly fighting and the one on the right is rolling his eyes so hard, they're going to fall out of the painting. Who the hell is the creepy guy in the dead center?!? And there's multiple creepy guys, one that's just a pair of eyes, behind the wisemen who is working real hard to get into their business. Is that Joseph on the far left, so far removed from the scene that there's a wall between him and his family? Or is that a shepherd sneaking up from behind?
What is the story of this scene? It seems like more emphasis is on the wisemen drama than on baby Jesus. And baby Jesus is being very judgemental about it all.
