Rest on the Flight into Egypt – Antique German Chromolithograph, 1900 This serene and deeply devotional antique German chromolithograph depicts the biblical scene known as the “Rest on the Flight into Egypt,” showing the Holy Family paused in quiet refuge during their journey of escape. The Virgin Mary is seated beneath ancient trees, gently cradling the Christ Child on her lap, while Saint Joseph rests nearby, weary from travel. The softly glowing halos emphasize the sacred presence of all three figures. The composition is intimate and contemplative. Mary’s calm expression and protective posture convey maternal tenderness and spiritual strength, while the Christ Child sits peacefully, embodying innocence and divine promise. Saint Joseph, shown as a humble, exhausted guardian, reinforces the human struggle of the journey. The surrounding forest setting, with its shaded foliage and rocky ground, enhances the sense of temporary shelter and quiet protection. Executed in rich, harmonious earth tones with subtle golden highlights, this chromolithograph reflects the finest traditions of late 19th–early 20th century German religious printing. The soft painterly shading, delicate facial features, and atmospheric depth are characteristic of high-quality devotional prints produced for Catholic homes, churches, schools, and monasteries. This specific imagery of the Flight into Egypt held special meaning for families, symbolizing divine protection in times of hardship and uncertainty. Today, original examples are increasingly scarce, especially in well-preserved condition with strong color saturation. A beautiful and meaningful piece for collectors of Catholic art, Holy Family imagery, Marian devotion, or traditional Christian wall art. CONDITION REPORT Good antique condition. Light, even age toning consistent with age. Minor edge wear, with small handling marks at the margins. No tears, no major losses, and no restoration. Colors remain warm and well-balanced, with excellent detail in the faces and garments. FRAMING TIPS This print will frame beautifully in a classic gilt or medium walnut wood frame. Pair with a warm ivory or softly antiqued cream mat and UV-protective glass for a refined devotional presentation.

The Holy Guardian Angel Protecting a Child – Antique German Chromolithograph, 1900 This beautifully composed antique German chromolithograph depicts the Holy Guardian Angel gently guiding and protecting a small child as they cross a narrow wooden bridge above flowing water. The scene is rich in symbolic meaning, representing divine protection, childhood innocence, and spiritual guidance — themes deeply rooted in Catholic devotional tradition. The guardian angel is shown in flowing white robes with a pale blue sash, her wide luminous wings fully extended as she leads the child safely forward. A golden halo and radiant star above her head emphasize her divine nature, while her calm and protective posture reinforces the message of constant heavenly care. The child, dressed in soft rose-colored garments and holding a simple walking staff, steps forward with trust and quiet confidence. The surrounding landscape enhances the spiritual narrative: a peaceful waterfall below, a distant church on the cliffs above, and lush greenery framing the path. These details reflect the traditional Catholic interpretation of life’s journey guided by faith. The soft atmospheric lighting, subtle color transitions, and fine detail are characteristic of high-quality German chromolithography at the turn of the 20th century. This image was widely cherished in Catholic homes, schools, and religious institutions, where it served both as devotional inspiration and as a comforting symbol of protection for children. Today, original examples in strong condition are increasingly scarce and highly sought after by collectors of antique religious art. An ideal piece for Catholic art collectors, children’s rooms, chapels, prayer spaces, and anyone seeking a meaningful symbol of spiritual guardianship. CONDITION REPORT Good antique condition. Light, even age toning throughout. Minor edge wear and gentle softening at the corners. No tears, no significant losses, and no restoration. Colors remain vibrant, with excellent preservation of gold tones and soft pastel shading. FRAMING TIPS This print will be beautifully enhanced by a softly antiqued gilt or champagne-gold frame to echo the angelic glow. A deep ivory or pale linen mat with museum glass will elevate the devotional and collector-quality presentation.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene – Antique German Chromolithograph, c. 1895 This striking late 19th-century German chromolithograph depicts the moving biblical moment in which the risen Christ appears to Mary Magdalene following the Resurrection. Christ is shown standing in quiet majesty, halo radiant with divine light, His right hand placed gently over His heart in a gesture of compassion and reassurance. Mary Magdalene kneels before Him with deep devotion, her long flowing hair and rich garments emphasizing both humility and reverence. The composition is set within a tranquil garden landscape, traditionally associated with the Resurrection narrative, reinforcing the spiritual symbolism of rebirth, forgiveness, and divine mercy. Christ’s red tunic and deep blue mantle radiate warmth and solemnity, while the soft golden halo creates a luminous focal point that draws the eye immediately to His face. This scene, known in Christian tradition as *Noli Me Tangere* (“Touch Me Not”), represents one of the most emotionally powerful moments of the Gospel story. It became a highly favored subject in Catholic devotional art of the late 19th century, commonly displayed in prayer corners, chapels, religious schools, and family interiors. Produced using high-quality chromolithography, this print achieves exceptional painterly depth, with delicate shading in the flesh tones, refined folds in the drapery, and beautifully layered landscape colors. The gold highlights of the halos and the saturated reds and blues are especially well preserved, reflecting the superior production standards of German devotional publishers during this period. This is a visually commanding and spiritually meaningful artwork, highly desirable for Catholic collectors, sacred art interiors, and serious devotional art collections. CONDITION REPORT Good antique condition overall. Light, even age toning to the paper consistent with late 19th-century chromolithographs. Minor edge wear and very gentle corner softening visible upon close inspection. No major stains, no tears, and no restoration observed. Colors remain strong and vivid. FRAMING TIPS This print will display beautifully in a classic gilt or softly antiqued gold wooden frame to echo the sacred halo tones. For a more restrained interior, a dark walnut or black lacquer frame with a wide ivory mat and museum glass will create a dramatic devotional presentation.
