Mary Caring for Baby Jesus – Beautiful Catholic Art Print – Archival Quality

"Mary Caring for Baby Jesus"Edouard PaupionThis lovely painting of Mary doing some clothes washing while Jesus sleeps is also called "Our Lady of the Waters." It's an idyllic scene; perhaps they are in Egypt. Mary is pounding clothing on the river rock, as people have traditionally done their laundry for millennia. The baby Jesus sleeps in the shade of the bush nearby. A fish has appeared before Mary, and they are regarding each other. It is a moment. Edouard Jerome Paupion (1854-1912) was born at Dijon, France. He was a pupil of artist Jean-Léon Gérôme, arguably the most famous living painter in the world in 1880. Paupoin has the same style, the careful, calm, well-composed pictures done in a manner now called "Academicism." He painted mostly figures, both historical and romantic subjects. His paintings are still highly prized today. ** IMPORTANT ** There is about an inch-and-a-third of white space around the picture in the 8.5x11 size, so the IMAGE IS SMALLEER THAN THE PAPER! For 11x
