Chesterton. One of the great writers and thinkers of the last couple of hundred years, Gilbert Keith was also one of the funniest and most influential. Always a conservative thinker, he eventually became a convert to the Catholic Church and made many arguments in defense of orthodoxy, including a book of that title. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe also wrote novels and poems, including The Man Who Was Thursday, one of our favorites in college, as well as the great Father Brown mystery stories. He was a kind and genial man, and deployed paradox, his favorite tool of humor, to thwart George Bernard Shaw and the other socialists of his day. He had trouble with his mental health in earlier years, and that struggle to find order was one of the things that led him to God. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe fought the good fight until the end.

It was very popular in the galleries and the magazines at the time. We LOVE this style! We love its clarity and impact!

Georg vor dem Erlegten Drachen) was sold in 2015 at auction. As a footnote, he signed it twice, once lower right behind some grass and then again in the upper left.

It was used by French Canadians in what would become Quebec, and gets its name for being their standard in the 1758 Battle of Carillon, in which they decisively defeated an overwhelmingly superior British force. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fleurs-de-lis in the corners are an old French symbol representing the Trinity; and the large white cross, sort of invisible as a design element separating the blue fields, is at root of course the Cross of Christ. The white cross in a blue field was the design of the French merchant flag, which this flag is based on. It is also the model for the Quebec flag, the white cross in a blue field with the fleurs-de-lis in the corners. The Sacred Heart flag was used widely by Canadian Catholics at an official level until the 1950s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe show an illustration of John the Baptist with this flag as his standard (not included with order). This flag is a beautiful Catholic symbol. It looks good on walls, but it also serves as something of a Catholic rallying point, a reminder that we are workers in the cause of Christ, who has our highest allegiance. To be sure, the enemy is Satan, not other people, genders, political parties, or race.

The French phrase, Ami du Sacre Coeur is translated Love of the Sacred Heart, or Friend of the Sacred Heart, and both convey the loving relationship they had which we are privileged to join if we wish. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJesus is holding his own Sacred Heart. It is very rare in Catholic art to get these two powerful Icons in this same image: St. Joseph and The Sacred Heart. We have looked for years, and this is just the second one we've come across that we thought was beautiful. We think the colors are lovely, the design beguiling, and we especially like having a young, handsome Joseph. He is often portrayed as an old man to suggest that only old age could have reasonably kept his purity, but we think this does a disservice to the great Saint. Historically, it is likely he was in his twenties, maybe his thirties, when he was married to Mary. He was perhaps as close to perfect as any man ever was, besides his Divine Step-son. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe holds the lily, representing his purity, and the borders are made with lilies and roses, purity and love.

It shows a commotion of performance, from the central altar boys, to the ensemble of musicians and adult singers, with the choir director in the center, lifting his finger to mark the time. In front and above them all, the figure of Jesus Christ crucified seems to be at their head. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are a lot of interesting details in this picture, which is otherwise kind of understated. For one thing, the bassoon player is looking right out at us. The ancient choir singer has almost let go of his music, which is slipping to the floor. Who is the fellow at the far left, and what is he doing there? This is probably during a service, or a dress rehearsal, as they all have their choir dress on. It’s a lovely picture, and like all of his pictures has a luminous intensity and vibrant colors.

Mark Twain and George Bernard Shaw, hardly Catholics, wrote about her, as did many others, and many painters painted her image. St. Therese of Lisieux wrote a play about her, quietly in the convent. It all culminated in Joan’s canonization on May 16, 1920, five years and a day before Therese was canonized. L'Entrée de Jeanne d'Arc à Orléans, victorieuse des Anglais. 16.4x12.2 feet.

It blesses the Lord in thanksgiving to Him! However, I should warn you, while it is Catholic, in the spirit of holy Catholics, and could have been written by Francis of Assisi, it was written by Sir Walter Scott.  It was an Illuminated manuscript to illustrate his book The Talisman. It was in the 1830 edition put out by Sangorski and Sutcliffe, a London bookmaker still in existence.

Scott married a French Catholic aristocrat in 1797, Mlle Margaret Charlotte Charpentier, who escaped the Revolution. Scott was an elder in the Episcopal Church, but much of the work that brought him fame was set in the Middle Ages, a Catholic time. He dreamed of the romance of chivalry and the ages of faith, and wrote of devout, God-fearing, Catholic heroes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTribunus goes on to say, \"Nevertheless, although he tries to conceal it with the usual Georgian and Victorian prejudices against the Catholic Church, there is a constant, latent hint of sympathy and sneaking admiration for the towering strength and majesty of the Catholic Church and the fierce loyalty and courage it inspires in the best of its members. Once can feel Scott secretly admiring this. There is even a palpable but hidden yearning for it throughout all his novels and poems, albeit well-concealed.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eI thought all that was interesting, and he goes on at some length about it.

For the two poster sizes, 18x24 and 24x36, we use 0.5\" borders. We do this because the ratio of the rectangle of the art almost never matches the rectangle of the paper, and if it did happen to match one size, it would not match the others.

Joseph and Jesus (detail from The Holy Family with a Little Bird by Murillo) – Catholic Art Print – Archival Quality","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe've selected a detail from the Murillo painting, \"The Holy Family with a Little Bird\" because we like the focus on Jesus and Joseph, and how comfortable and sweet they seem to be together. So many depictions of the two are so formal, without much emotion, but this one is of the rarer kind where Joseph is loving and fatherly, and Jesus is obviously quite comfortable in the arms of his foster-father. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original setting of the painting is a little odd. Jesus is holding a bird in his hand, teasing a little white dog in front of him. We're not scholar enough to offer any researched version of what is going on with that, but could it be that he has pulled the bird, which is often a symbol for a soul, away from one who would cause its ruin? Mary is to the left in the picture smiling sweetly at the scene but otherwise not involved with it. The emotional heart of the picture is father and son, and so that's why we offer it to you that way. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBartolomé Esteban Murillo was a Spanish painter born in 1617 in Seville. He was trained in the workshop of Juan del Castillo, a well-known painter. Murillo spent much of his career doing commissions for local religious groups of Seville, where he lived all his life. He painted mostly using the sfumato technique, which means blending colors so there are not sharp lines in the painting. In addition to his religious paintings, Murillo also painted genre scenes for Dutch and Flemish merchants in Seville. When he died in 1682, he was working on a series of paintings for the Capuchins of Cadiz. Murillo has remained one of the most popular painters ever.

Approximately 0.5\" wide for 5x7, 1.3\" for 8.5x11, 1.6\" for 11x14, and 1.75\" for 13x17 and 16x20. For the two poster sizes, 18x24 and 24x36, we use 0.5\" borders. We do this because the ratio of the rectangle of the art almost never matches the rectangle of the paper, and if it did happen to match one size, it would not match the others. Most fine art printers do this because otherwise they’d have to crop the art or warp it to make it fit the paper. The border looks good. It gives the picture a faux matted appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is almost always a little more border either on the left-right sides, or the top-bottom, depending on whether the ratio of the art is wider or taller than the paper. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make Archival Quality fine art prints: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e– Acid-free paper\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e– Archival pigments \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e– Cardboard backer for sizes 11x14 and less. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e– Above story of the art\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e– Enclosed in a tight-fitting, crystal-clear bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e– Rated to last 200+ years without fading if kept dry and out of the direct sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks for your interest!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e+JMJ+\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSue \u0026amp; John\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLincoln, Nebraska\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“In order to communicate the message entrusted to her by Christ, the Church needs art.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e~ Pope St. John Paul II\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal image is out-of-copyright.
