Butcher's Stall

The painting Butchers stall was done by Pieter Aertsen with oil on wood. It may be found at the Uppasala university Art collection. Apparently, this painter tried to balance images of gluttony with allusions to salvation. As seen in the picture, the artist shows a lot of meat and beef in excess, but not very noticeable in the background is the Mary and Joseph. I like how the artist focused on two topics, but on one more than the other, the message it portrays is very interesting.
