A friend of ours who has gone on to her reward said one time that they didn't need to nail Christ to the cross because love held him up there. In this beautiful and unusual painting, Christ is crucified amidst roses, to signify his suffering as well as his love. He died for us, out of love for us.


Harry Clarke (1889-1931) was an Irish artist most noted for his stained glass windows. He had early talent as a child in the arts, and his father had a stained glass window company. In spite of his ill health, in his short life he accomplished 40 commissions for stained glass at churches in Ireland and Great Britain and elsewhere. Besides his stained glass work, he also did paintings and book illustrations. He was very accomplished in his life., but chronically ill. He died in his sleep on his way home to Dublin at age 42. This painting was done about 1920. (source: diseart.ie/about-harry-clarke)


** IMPORTANT ** THE IMAGE IS SMALLER THAN THE PAPER! There is a blank border around the image. 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.

There 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.
