Today's Baby Jesus:

Bartolomeo Montangna

Mary is actually quite beautiful. I love how she's holding the cherry in her hand. and the way she looks pondering. Perhaps the importance as the role of the mother of Christ ? Jesus is looking direct at you holding his cherry. Maybe as to saying ....well what is he saying ? Look at my face ? Who am I ? The Pope ? Is he wearing a necklace ? Why is his penis so small ? Why does he look like an old man ? Why are Mary's Hands man hands ? Do babies always have such fat thighs and such tone arms ?  I have to say though Mary is very beautiful in this picture.

Okay, so about the artist Bartolomeo Montagna:
Bartolomeo Montagna, also known as Bartolomeo Cincani (October 11, 1450–October 11, 1523) was an Italian painter and architect who worked in Vicenza and Venice. He putatively was born near Brescia. His initial training was presumably under Domenico Morone in Verona, where he seems to have acquired a late Quattrocento refinement, similar to that of Carpaccio and Mantegna. The figures have a strict organization in space, and the peaceful expressions of classic detachment. He is also considered to be heavily influenced by Giovanni Bellini, in whose workshop he might have worked around 1490. Benedetto Montagna, a productive engraver, was his son and pupil and active till past 1540.

Madonna Adoring Child

So, did Montagna paint other paintings with adult looking babies ? No.
