Madonna and Child

This particular bit of text is another excerpt from the Deity novel. Below you will see the painting being referenced in the book.
Dr. William Hamilton is studying a 15th century painting by Filippo Lippi entitled ‘Madonna’ at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
A painting of the holy mother praying over her child that seems to be being hand delivered to her by a cherub. Though the style and subject matter of this particular work was very common at the time of it’s creation this piece is somehow different.
In the distance a man and his dog can be seen peering warily into the evening sky at what he has identified as a UFO. It almost looks as though the virgin’s child is being dropped off, or purposely placed on this planet by the occupants of the craft.

God is all around us. God is everything. This painting gives those words a whole new meaning for me.
