| This illustration originally took place at what is famously known as ‘The Milk Grotto Church’ of our Lady located in Bethlehem, a place traditionally described as the site where the Virgin Mary stopped to breastfeed the Baby Jesus during the ‘flight’ to Egypt. It is said that this picture represents the special status of the Virgin Mary’s body, as well as the connection between Mary’s sacred milk and the power to heal and perform miracles! This was one of the most popular pictures of the Virgin Mary, originally painted during the 14th and 15th century. This print is nicely detailed and colorful. Bottom right hand corner has a very small signature, too small to read – see photo. Original gold wood frame with decorative design. Old glass and original wire hanger. This piece is in excellent original condition, except for the original paper backing is very slightly torn. Circa 1920’s. |
