Description
Photograph of the painting "The Miracle of Saint Diego or The Angel's Kitchen" by Murillo, [s.d.]. Two angels are represented at center with their wings spread, while a praying monk levitates to their left, a scrap of paper beneath him. Farther left, another monk and two men who appear to be Spanish noblemen are shown awestruck as they enter through the door. In the right background, other angels and cherubs are shown doing kitchenwork, much to the amazement of yet another monk. Picture file card reads: "The painting represents the story of a monk who was the cook in his convent kitchen. One day he became so absorbed in his devotions that he forgot his cooking, and the angels came and did it for him".
