    Here we go with the postage-stamp paintings again. I zoomed for all I was worth and I still can’t really see it.

    Click-to-humongous image (@orinoco womble: hope that helps) can be found here or at its Google Art Project page. Enlarged image can be found at Mr. Melcher’s blog entry.The Carpenter’s Shop in Nazareth (AKA The Christ Child as a Carpenter, source and Wikipedia links) is described by its current-location page (the source of the enlarged image). An online book claims the artist was Mexican. The current-location page says it was painted in Boliva. This says Bolivia, Alto Peru (Google translated Spanish Wikipedia page has more).Fifth of the at least 16 works with no attribution, that have, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here. This and at least one more (hasn’t yet appeared here, need the caption to find it) were found in prior searches, but for whatever reason, are no longer in the list.

    The General Contractor watches from above, yells, blames everyone but himself and collects a hefty fee whilst others do the work and put up with his s**t..some things never change.

    Almost looks like a Heironymus Bosch. Not quite bizaare enough, though. Though the guy that I guess is supposed to be God looks more like some kind of extraterrestrial.

    Now we know where they got the idea for the “Elves and the Shoemaker” from, though: “The Carpenter and the Angels.”

    “Joseph, your work has become outstanding ever since your son joined the business!”“Oh, that’s because the angels come out at night and help us!”“Really? That’s…um..something. Oh, I’ve gotta go…uh, for that..uh, thing! ‘Bye!’

    Had the count wrong. There have actually been 6 so far. Here is the one I missed and here is another work with no attribution.
