Moving along the many chambers and rooms of the castle we arrived at the chapel where there was this picture. Somehow I found it funny and start laughing for some minutes in front of some high bishop and priests (from Italy) there who were organizing the seats for an important mass. I found Jesus Christ to be funny and somehow inappropriate to be semi-naked during the incoronation of Holy Mary.
