About Artwork: (1706) "The Virgin Mary supports her son’s head with one hand and his chubby leg with the other, laying him down on her deep blue cloak. Her husband, Joseph, lies asleep behind them. Christ’s raised leg lifted to one side shows his genitals, proving that he is a human child – the son of man and the son of God, as had been promised in the scriptures. After Christ’s birth, an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream, warning him that King Herod was searching for the child in order to kill him. He took Mary and the infant to Egypt for safety, a story told in the New Testament. While the holy family’s rest on their journey is not actually described anywhere, it has frequently been depicted throughout the ages." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
