Hard(er) to Grasp
































Far less known than the Seven Deadly Sins are the Seven Works of Mercy - until a visit to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam I was not actually aware of their existence, nor the fact that painters chose them as a subject.

The feature I like the most in Caravaggio's interpretation is the group of two angels looking down and here especially the way the angel on the left holds his hands.
