The Flight into Egypt (El Greco)
The Flight into Egypt is a c.1570 painting of the Flight into Egypt by El Greco, now in the Museo del Prado in Madrid. It is one of his earliest works, dating to his stay in Venice, and shows the major influence of Tintoretto and Jacopo Bassano, especially in the landscape background. The clouds and the chromaticism are similar to his Healing of the Man Born Blind, though most of the tonalities show the influence of Raphael and Michelangelo.

gollark: The one which would require 72 petadragons was a 56G arrow.
gollark: The numbers are perfectly manageable if you accept inbreeding and don't mind breeding for ages, or use a cheaper thing like stairstep.
gollark: So, 2 times itself 56 times in total, which is 2^56, which is 72 quadrillion or so.
gollark: In an arrowish one, the last one will have two parents, each of which will have two parents, repeated 54 or so more times.
gollark: Exponential growth!
