The second panel of Paolo Uccello's Miracle of the Profaned Host from the Urbino Confraternity of Corpus Domini predella. A Jewish moneylender is cooking the host, which emanates blood. The Jew's wife, her unborn child, and her children look on in terror as the blood pours into the street in rivers while soldiers break through the door. The painting is structured around the Golden Section.
