New! Madonna and Child – by Jean Antoinette LaBrousse – Framed Miniature – Catholic Keepsake

A beautiful Art Nouveau Madonna and Child, as a holy card, in an elegant frame. Perfect for a desk top, countertop, book shelf, or bedside stand. Wherever you’d like a devotional picture of Our Lady. Jean Antoinette LaBrousse, an English painter whose parents were French, painted this beautiful Madonna and Child in 1918. She did it in one of our favorite art styles, Art Nouveau, a rare Catholic example of that style. It is one of the lost treasures of Catholic art.

These small framed holy cards are what we call the "adorable" size, and look good on desks, shelves, bedstands, etc. They make great, unique and memorable gifts to your devout friends, or lukewarm friends whom you can help warm up a bit. Our mission is to “Strengthen the Faithful and Evangelize through Beauty.” We hope these framed miniatures do just that for you and the people you know.

Materials:

Frames are metal or plastic, with either glass or plastic protective fronts. The more expensive ones are glass and metal, or sometimes resin; the less expensive are plastic or resin with clear plastic fronts. The plastic ones are NICE, though, just so you know. We're picky about this stuff.

Dimensions:

The holy card is 2.75 x 4.25" inches. Interior dimensions of the frame are 3.5x5.0. Exterior dimensions are on average 4.0 x 5.5" inches, but vary a little depending on which frame you choose.

Thanks for your interest in our Catholic art project.

Peace be with you,

Sue and John Johnson
