There is a young Sir Michael Caine in this painting.
Sir Michael CBE, English actor and author is well known for his unique working class cockney accent. Caine has had a roll in over 115 films and is regarded as a British film icon. Now he is playing the baby Jesus in this painting by Jan van Eyck, Madonna of Chancellor Rolin c. 1435

Painting by Duccio di Buoninsegna c. 1283-1284

The Mérode Altarpiece c. 1425-30
