Ludicrously detailed Neapolitan nativity

[fivemack]

This is a Nativity scene displayed in the Palace Chapel of the Royal Palace at Naples. The Christ-child can be seen down and to the left of the yellow angel, or up and to the right of the large group of Moorish musicians (wearing scarlet, just to the right of the leftmost camel), barely visible above a sheep.

Click to zoom in; the image spans nicely across two HD monitors, or you can pan around it on a normal computer.

Also, why does that sheep have a human head growing out of its back? I'd say this looks more like one of those Bruegel paintings of Hell than a nativity.
