Hello Teacup,

Now steady on, ol' chap. We're getting at cross-purposes here.

Before writing my last post to you I took the trouble to 'google' for some general information on this painting.
I read that the Virgin should have been portrayed standing and not lying down, the bare feet were not permitted, the lighting was wrong, and so on.
Not once did it occur to me that these points were matters of sexual innuendo. Had I continued to read more sites about the painting I may well have eventually caught on. As it is I didn't and haven't.
To be honest with you, I still can't see any sexual innuendo in the painting. But, perhaps that's because I am not of Caravaggio's time, nor am I knowledgeable of his paintings.

In view of this, perhaps you'll apologise for your rude "talking to be talking" comment.

Regards,

Alex
