I've posted photos of the castle before, but this is the courtyard from inside the building. It's pretty cool.
In the pinacoteca is this Mantegna, Madonna in gloria e santi Giovanni Battista, Gregorio Magno, Benedetto e Girolamo. Laura's name for it: Mary and Jesus in a Tree of Floating Baby Heads. She has a point, I suppose.
I didn't have time to dwell on that, though, because I was distracted by the question of the day: Did Jesus lift weights in utero? If you take a look at this detail of Giovan Battista Trotti's Adoration of the Shepherds with St. Clare and St. Francis of Assisi, you'll see what I mean.
