When I first saw this painting thought Mary looked like she was saying, “omg I just popped out a baby and I’m still a virgin…how?! Why are there people I don’t even know?… why are there Kings here?…why is there a angel here? AM I DEAD!?! Is that why am I being ignored by these complete strangers!?!… I’m just gonna name you… Jesus Christ… that’s it! I’m gonna name you Jesus!”
Yup I have a wired imagination, but isn’t it weird that all these people she didn’t know just showed up? Though anyway that’s all I have to say, bye!
