The Mary Picture Thread

[shortnun]

This is my favorite. She's called [b]Our Lady of the Whole World[/b] and was created by little sister Magdeleine.

Yes, that one is soo beautiful! We have a picture of it in our living room.

This artist has created some incredible pictures of Our Lord & Our Lady. Some of the best ones are here - William Bouguereau. I love especially the [i]The Virgin of the Lilies[/i]. It was posted a few pages earlier too :j

Here's another beautiful one I recently found. :love: This would make a lovely Christmas card :j

I love the American artist Charles Bosseron Chambers, the Norman Rockwell of the Catholic Church. I've seen a couple originals of his at St. Ignatius Church in Chicago. Here are just a few his works. His Immaculate Heart of Mary I especially love.




Blessed Virgin Mary with Angels


Our Lady of Fatima


Mary Conceived


Call to Vocation

The last few I got from the Catholic Heritage eBay Store


Also, I love George Hitchcock's (another American artist) Flight into Egypt. It's beautiful in full size.
