Georges de La Tour 1593 - 1652 painting located in Paris - Musee de Louvre
Saint Joseph Charpentier.
Notice the translucent hands of Jesus; de la Tours indication of Jesus being someone
special .... note the connections with Light in the Gospels.
The Gospel of Matthew deliberately connects Joseph with Jesus. "This book contains the family tree of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham."
vv 2 - 6 Abraham to David 6 - 11 David to Josiah at the time of the Exile
12 - Joseph ' husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called "Messiah'
