Pieter Brueghel, The Adoration of the Kings

http://klp.pl/admin-malarstwo/images/grafiki/1152.jpg This picture shows how people love the baby and how they adore him. He must be very special because theirs no children near them so they must be amazed by looking at baby. They looking at the baby very carefully and they are really surprise. The mother must be feeling really happy. They remind me of Jesus, Holy Mary , and Joseph. I really like this picture because they are really amazed by looking at the baby.

The Adoration of the Kings

The Adoration of the Kings

William Carlos Williams

From the Nativity
which I have already celebrated
the Babe in its Mother's arms

the Wise Men in their stolen
splendor
and Joseph and the soldiery

attendant
with their incredulous faces
make a scene copied we'll say

from the Italian masters
but with a difference
the mastery

of the painting
and the mind the resourceful mind
that governed the whole

the alert mind dissatisfied with
what it is asked to
and cannot do

accepted the story and painted
it in the brilliant
colors of the chronicler

the downcast eyes of the Virgin
as a work of art
for profound worship
