debated with myself before adding this PICTURE to my collection. To me, Jesus looks like a sulky brat in this picture, and Mary and Joseph look ready to ground him for 18 years!
Then again, I must say that the painting has a very human quality.
Besides, how would most of us have reacted? I'm afraid that I, personally, would have said something like, "I'll 'Father's business' you, young man!"

St. Joseph does look a little stern there, and Jesus looks a little rebellious. Just like teenagers who say "nobody understands me." I'm sure that's not what the painter intended, or did he? It makes me chuckle to see it - a really beautiful painting.
