Looks like it’s been a hard day’s night…look at that nose.Maybe he can do Rudolph duty instead.

Enlarged image can be found here. So far, it hasn’t appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog. This is currently its only entry for this artist.St. Jerome (link shows his Wikipedia page) isn’t shown online, by its current-location (Google translated, Wikipedia page).It is the altarpiece, for the Chapel of St. Jerome (number XVII in the floor diagram, Google translated). The artist’s Wikipedia page and collection (more under Subcategories).

This is one of Steve’s best in my opinion. The mall must’ve been situated in the catacombs from the looks of it.
