"Mother, I require sustenance."
Fun fact: Those weird paintings of Jesus as an "adult baby" are actually intentional. This was an attempt at representing that in the interpretation of the time, Jesus entered this world already fully perfected/divine, without having to have gone through an "imperfect" phase.
Just like Renesmee!
W.T.F.
Also, the visages were of real men. Often the patrons of the painter or someone else to be honored.
Imagine giving birth to that.
Counterpoint: look at those hands. Maybe they just weren't great at some things.
I'd believe they mastered lighting and painting techniques over accurate physical representation more than "Jesus was a perfect middle aged nippleless man with fucked up hands and that's represented perfectly here"
I can't think of a single baby oil painting that looks like a baby but maybe I'm remembering wrong or they were all jesus idk
Huh, I didn't know people anyone even painted with baby oil.
During the Renaissance, there were certainly a lot of the weirdly adult baby Jesus paintings, but there were also realistic examples from the time (that one is Raphael, one of the great masters).
Nice
Look at painting of cherubims.
JD Vance looking motherfuckers
I mean, Wallace Shawn does look a bit like a baby. Could have had a worse model.
There are a lot of babies who look like old men and vice versa
Both of my kids looked just like that when they were born
Reminded me of this old gem, original source sadly lost to the sands of the web.

Oh my god I forgot all about Mallory Ortberg's interpretations of monk paintings! I used to love these.
Unrelated but she once wrote something like "everyone knows that to properly make a bed, you need to circle it like a shark" and the truth of that has stuck with me ever since. Why is my brain like this haha
Video game designers still do the same for the child NPC's
I am seeing zero down votes for the first time
That is the face of a human who is tired of this childrearing bullshit. Get this person some coffee. Or a bed.
Ever seen fingers before?
those are the carrot looking things that grow out of people’s hands right?
The part where the baby shoves their hand in your face when you can’t do anything about it is actually pretty accurate. The face you then make as the grown-up is also spot on.
You know who we should use as a Jesus model? Jeff in accounting.
Oh god I'm having flashbacks to The Rehearsal season 2
