Yesterday was Bartolome Esteban Murillo's 400'th birthday, so says Google - liking the image in the Doodle I checked up on the man and found a wealth of beauty in his pictures particularly of children, and also an intimate knowledge of bare feet.

Now take a closer look at those feet. The dirt, the calluses, the cracks - I know them well - they could easily have been my feet! I'd like to know what he used as balm to heal those cracks?

| Look at the detail in the clothes |
