Today, Feb. 15, is the feast of Saints Faustinus and Jovita, two brothers executed by Emperor Hadrian in 120 A.D. This painting by Vincenzo Foppa shows them standing beside the Virgin Mary and Christ child. A great study in perspective, it was fun to convert to 3-D. Walls, canopies, pedestals, columns, windows, with all those angles and planes converging this way and that. (You can see it even bigger on my Flickr page.)
