“Peace And A Child Shall Lead Them” Yg Jesus w/ Animal Kingdom Isaiah 11:6-9, Famous Antique Sepia Print / Artist: William Strut This is a wonderful, inspiring, and famous antique religious sepia print featuring the young Child Jesus standing beside the animal kingdom. Although this print is not titled, the actual title is, "Peace…And A Child Shall Lead Them"; also known as, "The Peaceable Kingdom". This picture is in reference to Isaiah 11:6-9 from the Bible. The artist’s name, publisher, and copyright date can be found in the bottom left corner of the print, "William Strutt; Copyright 1896 by Franz Hanfstaengl". The bottom right hand corner of print similarly reads, "Copyright 1896; By Franz Hanfstaengl". The stamping in the bottom right however is incised within the print…quite rare. Jesus is seen holding a large palm or olive branch, which signifies peace. The foreground and background of this picture have beautiful and interesting details, including Isaiah sitting on a large rock with an angel visiting him, mountainous terrain, several beams and boulders stacked beside each other as though something was being built, and a castle all the way in the back. There’s even a strange looking animal sticking its head up behind the sleeping leopard. The print is in excellent original condition, except for a small minor tear (which has been repaired) in the bottom left corner. This tear is hardly visible and does not detract from the beauty of this piece. (see photo) The matting is new and in excellent condition. The old antique frame has a nice dark natural finish and is also in excellent condition. New wood backing and wire hanger. Missing paper backing. This is a wonderful In-Spirit piece that magically captures the thought of peace on earth. Circa 1896.

***I’ve included below, the full verse from the Bible, in which this picture was conceived from:

"In that day the wolf and the lamb will lie down together, and the leopard and the goats will be at peace. Calves and fat cattle will be safe among lions, and a little child shall lead them all. The cows will graze among the bears; cubs and calves will lie down together, and lions will eat grass like the cows. Babies will crawl safely among poisonous snakes, and a little child who puts his hand in a nest of deadly adders will pull it out unharmed. Nothing will hurt or destroy in all my holy mount, for as the waters fill the sea, so shall the earth be full of the knowledge of the Lord." (Isaiah 11:6-9)

*** I've included below, some interesting information about this famous listed artist, WILLARD MORSE MITCHELL:

Willard Morse Mitchell (February 14, 1879 - June 15, 1955) was a Canadian artist and architect best known for his miniature watercolor paintings. They were mostly nature scenes. He was born in Saint John, New Brunswick, the youngest of six children. He attended Rothesay Collegiate and later studied art and architecture in Saint John. He was married in 1904 and that year he moved to Amherst, Nova Scotia. For nearly two decades, he worked as an architect and made paintings in Amherst. He moved to Belleville, Ontario in 1923 and in 1927 he removed to Montreal where he focused exclusively on the sale of his art as souvenir pieces. He died in Montreal in 1955.

He is noted for painting very small pieces of art, often no more than 150 square centimeters in size. Many of his latter works depict scenes from rural Quebec. He made his own hand-carved frames and printed paper backings for his pieces that told the story behind the scene depicted; thus he made several versions of the same picture. Mitchell would copy his most popular scenes using carbon paper on top of watercolor paper, making each scene appear as an original."

The original wood frame is very complimentary and retains a wonderful old patina. Original glass, paper backing, and hanger. Circa 1910.

*** I've included below, some interesting information about this famous listed artist, CHARLES ALFRED MEURER:

"Born in Germany of American parents, Charles Meurer became the last living link to the heyday of the trompe l'oeil painting style. He settled in Terrace Park, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati, and maintained a studio there for many years. He continued to paint after both of his legs were amputated, asserting that he still had his brushes and his spirit. Many of his trompe l'oeil works have reproductions of money, and he has also done painting with hunting motifs that are similar to work by Michael Harnett, the man credited with founding the trompe l'oeil style in America.

Meurer was raised in Clarksville, Tennessee. In his youth as a beginning artist, he was commissioned by Adolph Ochs, editor of the Chattanooga Times newspaper to paint a still life incorporating the front page of the paper with a figure surrounded by books and other objects of editorial wisdom. Meurer succeeded and used this theme in many subsequent paintings.

This mode of still life painting was later described as editorial-sanctum still life, something that emphasizes with appropriate objects authority (books), industry (pen and inkwell) and respectability (money). Many journalism offices today have paintings or copies of them with that motif.

Meurer studied art with Frank Duveneck in Cincinnati and then went to Paris and Lyon for further study in France. In 1886, according to his telling, he was converted to trompe l'oeil painting when he saw the work of Michael Harnett at the Cincinnati Industrial Exposition of 1886. He also recalled seeing rack pictures of John Frederick Peto in Cincinnati art galleries in the 1890s."

*** Below is A BELOVED PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY...Enjoy and God Bless!:

"O most holy, most amiable and most glorious Virgin, Mother of God.

Mistress and Advocate to whom we are all vowed and consecrated, making it our glory to belong to thee as children, servants and slaves for time and eternity, behold! with common accord, we throw ourselves at thy feet to renew our vows of fidelity and servitude to thee and to pray thee that as we belong entirely to thee, thou wouldst offer, dedicate, consecrate and immolate to the Sacred Heart of our adorable Jesus, ourselves and all that we are, all that we shall do and suffer, without reserving anything for ourselves.

We wish to have no other liberty except that of loving Him, no other glory except that of belonging to Him as slaves and victims of His pure love, no other will or power but that of pleasing Him and contenting Him in everything, even at the price of our lives. And since thou hast all power over the amiable Heart of thy Divine Son, grant, O most charitable Mother, that He may receive and accept this consecration which we make today in thy presence, and through thy mediation, with the protestations of our fidelity, relying on His grace and thy help, which we beg thee not to refuse us.

O, our sweet Hope, make us feel thy power over the amiable Heart of Jesus, and use thy influence on our behalf to lodge us there always. Pray Him to exercise His sovereign empire over our souls, making His love reign in our hearts, in order that He may consume us and transform us entirely into Himself. May He be our Father, our Spouse, our Protection, our Treasure, our Delight, our Love and our All in all things; may He destroy and annihilate in us all that is of ourselves and put in place of it all that is of Himself, in order that we may be able to be pleasing to Him. May He be the support of our powerlessness, the strength of our weakness, the joy of all our sadness.

O Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, repair all our failings, supply for all that is wanting to us, burn our hearts in your holy ardors; consume all our coldness and cowardice in loving and serving you, since we wish to make all our holiness and happiness consist in living and dying in the state of slaves of the adorable Heart of Jesus, and servants of his holy Mother." Amen

~ This beautiful Prayer to the Blessed Virgin was cited from one of my favorite websites: TheSacredHeart.com

*** I’ve also included THE NOVENA PRAYER TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY:

"O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children, we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today, especially...(special intention).

We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your gentle care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help all of us, Holy Mother, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever." Amen.

X-LG COMPLETE PANORAMIC SCENE! Antique Religious Print “Jesus in The Garden of Gethsemane” / Artist: Hofmann or Goodman This is an X-Lg very attractive and special antique religious print depicting Jesus kneeling on the ground beside a large boulder with his hand’s clasped in prayer. What makes this picture so special is the unique size that ultimately exposes the complete panoramic scene rarely captured of "Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane". The colors of this print are unusually bright and each feature is clearly defined. As Jesus gazes up to the Heavens in the dark night sky, a beam of holy light shines down upon him.

*** I’ve included a little interesting INFO about HOFMANN’s INSPIRATION FOR PAINTING:

"Heinrich Hofmann’s religious works are filled with the deep faith that inspired his life and creativity. Painting subjects from literature and mythology, Hofmann (1824 – 1911) is most famous for his paintings of Christ’s life. When his beloved mother died, he was motivated to paint his first large religious work, "The Burial of Christ." Before painting any scene depicting Christ, Hofmann would intently study the Bible. He was adamant that anyone who was not moved to their innermost core while painting religious subjects was not capable of the task. Four of Hofmann’s most famous works now grace New York’s Riverside Church."

~ This info was cited from the following website: AllPosters.com

*** I’ve also included a short BIO about the artist, HEINRICH HOFMANN:

"Johann Michael Ferdinand Heinrich Hofmann (March 19, 1824-June 23, 1911) was a German historical painter of the late 19th to early 20th century. He was the uncle of the German painter Ludwig von Hofmann. He was born in Darmstadt, Germany and died in Dresden, Germany. He is best known for his many paintings depicting the life of Jesus Christ.

Four of the most famous works of Hofmann are in the possession of the Riverside Church in New York: Christ and the Rich Young Ruler, Christ in Gethsemane, Christ in the Temple and Picture of Christ. According to information of the Riverside Church, the painting Christ in Gethsemane is without much doubt one of the most copied paintings in the world. While he chose his subjects from the whole field of literature and mythology, Hofmann is most widely known for his idealized scenes from the life of Christ. Several of these have been extensively reproduced in engravings, especially his "Christ in the Temple," painted in 1882. Heinrich Hofmann died in 1902.

The religious body of Hofmann’s work has gained in importance in the past years. One of the reasons for the increasing popularity of his artwork is the publication of his paintings and pencil drawings depicting the life of Jesus Christ in The Second Coming of Christ, the interpretation of the Bible by Paramahansa Yogananda, the teacher of Yoga.

Heinrich Hofmann was one of the pre-eminent painters of his time. The Sunday Strand – at that time a very popular British magazine– describes him as the most influential contemporary German painter. Hofmann’s style of painting was unique in its own way but at the same time he based his work on the traditional art of old German, Dutch and Italian masters. While in Rome he also came in touch with the Nazarenes – especially through the influence of Cornelius – but throughout his life he remained faithful to the great examples of the Renaissance. Religious paintings take the center stage in Hofmann’s work; but he also created numerous portraits and pictures that depict mythological and historical topics."

*** I’ve included, below, some interesting information about the artist, CHARLES BOSSERON CHAMBERS:

"Charles Bosseron Chambers (1882-1964): Charles Bosseron Chambers was known for his figurative work, mainly portraits or works with religious themes. Chambers was born in St. Louis; his father was an Irish captain in the British army and his mother was a member of an established French family in St. Louis. According to his niece, Chambers later adopted the middle name "Bosseron" because he felt his last name "too plain" to reflect his French heritage.

Like many American artists at the turn of the century, Chambers studied art abroad, first at the Berlin Royal Academy, where he spent six years studying with Louis Schultz. He later studied with Alois Hrdliczka at the Royal Academy in Vienna and with Johannes Schumacher in Dresden.

After matriculating at St. Louis University, Chambers began his professional career at Palm Beach, Florida, a place chosen because of his mother's failing health. From this period in his artistic productions date the fantastic figure compositions exhibited at the St. Louis Exposition, together with portraits of Colonel Mitchell for the Missouri Historical Society; Joseph Jefferson, the great American actor; young Master Haven; Henry Phipps; Henry M. Flagler; Mrs. Voorhis and others.

In 1916, Chambers moved to New York City and established himself in the Carnegie Studios, Carnegie Hall, where he occupied and splendid atelier. It was here that he painted the "Light of the World", the most popular America religious painting of the early Twentieth Century.

He was a member of the Society of Illustrators, established in 1901 in New York City, and the Salmagundi Club, an early important art club in New York City. He illustrated Sir Walter Scott's, "Quentin Durward, "in the Scribner Classics for Young People.

His work was exhibited at the well-known John Levy Galleries in New York City in the 1930s, and his work is now in several public collections in St. Louis and Chicago, including Chicago's St. Ignatius's Church, Missouri Historical Society in St. Louis, and the Osceola Club in St. Augustine, Florida.

For the monastery, Chambers painted a number of works, the best known of which were his cover illustrations for the Commissariat's publication, Crusader's Almanac, such as The Crusader's Vision on Calvary and The Crusader's Death."

It reads, "Presented by The Sisters of St. Francis; Pittsburgh, Pa.; July 10, 1935; In return for a little favor done for them a few weeks before". How intriguing! I wonder what the favor was? This convent is now called ‘Sisters of St. Francis of the Providence of God’. The plaque has a nice, original, strong wire hanger. Circa 1920’s.

*** There is much information that can be found on the Internet about Saint Anne, but I’ve included a few interesting words on SAINT ANNE, as well as a DAILY PRAYER:

*Saint Anne is a Patron Saint of Married Women:
According to legend, Saint Anne was married three times, first to Saint Joachim, after his death to Cleophas, and finally to Salomas. Her ability to find husbands inspired women to turn to her for help in finding a husband. "I beg of You, Holy Mother Anne, send me a good and loving man."

*Saint Anne Provides Aid in Granting Children:
According to legend, both Saint Anne and Saint Joachim prayed to God for a child. God blessed them with Mary, mother to Jesus and venerated as "Our Mother," therefore making Saint Anne "Grandmother" to followers for centuries.

*Daily Prayer to Saint Anne:
O glorious Saint Anne, you are filled with compassion for those who invoke you and with love for those who suffer! Heavily burdened with the weight of my troubles, I cast myself at your feet and humbly beg of you to take the present intention which I recommend to you in your special care. Please recommend it to your daughter, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and place it before the throne of Jesus, so that He may bring it to a happy issue. Continue to intercede for me until my request is granted. But, above all, obtain for me the grace one day to see my God face to face, and with you and Mary and all the saints to praise and bless Him for all eternity. Amen
