Thanks for this, I may use it in my 6th grade Catechism class. I never would have guessed this was done by a pre-Raph artist.

me too, I often use video clips on art in CCD classes for example

I wonder what "Loony Saudi Muslim Clerics"

would make of Caravaggio's Corporal Works of Mercy altarpiece?
