Behold Thy Son

Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa is generally considered the most famous painting in the world. For centuries, admirers have stared into her eyes, speculated about her true identity, marveled at the genius of the man who immortalized her, and wondered…“What is she thinking?” Those who’ve had the privilege of viewing this remarkable painting in person will never forget the experience.

Now there’s another painting, painted in the style of the Old Italian Masters that captures the magic and emotion of an event unparalleled in the annals of religious history. This painting captures in a small way, the emotions the Mother of God must have felt as she watched her perfect son become the sacrificial lamb who voluntarily gave his life for each one of us. For the Christian faithful, it will always be revered as the single most important event in the history of the world; that moment when the Son of God died to save us all. We can never comprehend the depth, the breadth or the reach of that singular sacred event. And now we want to offer to you this limited edition print.

Hundreds of individuals have already purchased an enhanced giclee‘ print of this beautiful painting for their home, and have attested that the feeling it brings to a room is one of reverence and awe. Many use this painting as an object lesson, helping students, children, and grandchildren understand not only the emotion the Mother of God must have felt, but the way all mothers feel from time to time, as they watch their own children struggle to learn the difficult lessons of life. The message we want to convey to all is that sorrow is the soil that ultimately grows the flowers of peace and joy, as surely as morning follows a long dark night.
