Pop Up Books in Art History
I loved this post on this blog:
http://wtfarthistory.com/post/23228383437/pop-up-book
So I had to share it!
Pop-Up Book
One day while meditating, Saint Anthony of Padua witnessed a vision of the infant Jesus who miraculously appeared to come forth from the saint’s book. The original pop-up book was born.

Evidently the pop-up baby Jesus above was a later addition to this painting by El Greco. WTF? Check out the
Prado’s site
for more info on the painting. [BTW, the writing on the outer pages of the book is apparently El Greco’s signature]
Pop-up Jesus can also be seen in other paintings of Saint Anthony of Padua, each time increasingly larger, like the right wing of an altarpiece by Gerard David or a charming image by Murillo.
