This is freaking hysterical.

So, I'm bookmarking art to show at my class on Saturday in my copy of Yoshitomo Okamoto's The Namban Art of Japan, when I see this 16th c. Japanese painting in European style depicting St. Peter.....



Miles liked it so much he's using it on his FB profile.

The resemblance is striking :-) but what really struck me was the painting itself: it "reads" as if the artist was influenced both by El Greco paintings and Byzantine icons....
