italian painter

in #painter9 years ago (edited)

Giovanni Francesco Caroto, a16th-century Italian painter, had executed for a monastery a painting portraying Jesus kneeling before his mother. A priest criticised the painting, saying that Jesus should have been kneeling on both knees to show true reverence to her. By way of reply, Caroto asked him to kneel down and stand up again. This the priest did, grudgingly. Caroto then said,"Did you observe that you lowered your right knee to the ground first as you knelt and raised your left leg first as you rose? This Jesus of mine is either coming to his knees or, having knelt a while, is in the process of rising."
