New! Crucifixion with 3 Sacraments – Early 20th Century Catholic Art – Catholic Gift – Archival Quality

This beautiful and intricate picture of the Crucifixion was widely used in Europe in the early part of the 20th Century as a Certificate of Baptism, Confirmation, and/or First Communion. The ear;oest date we've seem os 1910, and the latest is 1933. It has little medalion illustrations of the three Sacramental scenes below the Crucifixion scene.The upper left shows Abraham and Isaac at the sacrifice scene, and upper right has Moses lifting up the serpant on the cross to heal the people of Israel.

This is a beautiful piece of art. We have had our eyes on it for several years, but couldn't find a good quality version of it to offer it to you until now.

** 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.

We make Archival Quality fine art prints:

– Acid-free paper

– Archival pigments

– Cardboard backer for sizes 11x14 and less.

– Above story of the art

– Enclosed in a tight-fitting, crystal-clear bag.

– Rated to last 200+ years without fading if kept dry and out of the direct sun.

Thanks for your interest!
