Adoration of the Angels – Cleto Luzzi – Catholic Art Print – Christmas – Unique Catholic Gift – Archival Quality

This gorgeous picture of Jesus being adored by the angels glows with light and intensity. Mary is presenting her child; already she is modestly working so our focus can be on her son. The boy Jesus has his arms outstretched, reaching for us in a triumphant, cross-shaped position. Visually, it echoes the composition of William Bouguereau's "The Virgin with the Angels." Mary and Jesus are on top of something like a manger, but it is more a wheat bundle, wheat being what the host is transubstantiated out of. This dreamy, beautiful picture is a piece of devotional art. It hangs in the Notre Dame Catholic Cathedral, Ottawa, Ontario. We show a picture of the chapel it hangs in.
