Divine Mercy Framed Canvas Print — Robert Skemp 1982 Reproduction, 16" x 22"

Description

The Divine Mercy image millions recognize

If you've watched Mass from the EWTN chapel, you already know this image. Most viewers don't know where it came from.

In 1982, artist Robert Skemp was commissioned to paint a Divine Mercy unlike any before it. Rather than a static portrait, Skemp captured the moment John's Gospel describes — Christ passing through the door of the Upper Room. Look to the right of the figure and you'll find the doorpost still in the frame. The rays stream outward in every direction rather than forward alone: crimson and blue, with traces of green and gold at the edges. He painted it on wood.

The original was presented to Pope St. John Paul II — the pontiff who canonized St. Faustina and established Divine Mercy Sunday. He gave it in turn to the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, where it remains today.

This is a faithful canvas reproduction of that original, finished in an ornate antiqued gold and bronze frame with beaded molding.
