Potts: “I Resolved to Explore the Louvre by Seeking Out Every Baby Jesus in the Building”

“Silly as this may sound,” Rolf Potts writes in his latest Traveling Light column on Yahoo!, “it was a fascinating way to ponder the idiosyncrasies of world-class art.” And an alternative to the usual way of seeing the Louvre: making a beeline to the Mona Lisa.

Hello;

  I have a print of an oil painting that my parents bought in Paris in 1959.
The image is of baby Jesus at about 2 or
3 years old with blond curls and a halo.
I don’t see a signature and don’t want to take it out of the frame yet.  The
image is from his right side (naked shoulder) with him turned to the right
facing front.
  Do you have any idea what this painting is called and who the artist was?  My mother thought that it may be
called “the light of the world” and the
original was hung in the Louve.
Thank you for any info that you may have.
Sincerely,
Deborah Laing
