19th Century Italian Framed "Cardinal Blessing" Oil on Canvas Painting
About the Item
Decorate an office or study with this large antique oil on canvas and wood painting. Created in Italy circa 1890, and almost 5 feet in height, the artwork is set in an ornate gilt wood frame. The painting depicts a sacred and intimate moment of religious significance. At the center, a cardinal, distinguished by his red ecclesiastical robes and gold pectoral cross, is seated on an ornate chair. He raises his right hand in a gesture of blessing and absolution, offering spiritual forgiveness and guidance to a kneeling boy before him. The boy, dressed in soft, pale clothing, performs the Sign of the Cross with reverence, touching his forehead in the traditional invocation. To the left, a group of young men attentively observe the solemn exchange, their expressions reflecting piety, curiosity, and respect. Their colorful garments and detailed features highlight their individuality and add life to the scene. To the right, a figure in a brown cloak stands contemplatively, his back partially turned as though offering space for the sacred act. The setting is enriched by classical architecture, with towering stone columns and a central niche housing a statue of the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child. This prominent sculpture serves as a visual anchor, emphasizing the divine presence in the scene. The composition masterfully balances spiritual devotion with artistic naturalism, employing soft lighting and rich textures to create a sense of solemnity, grace, and timeless beauty. The important painting is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and adorns wonderful and vivid colors.

19th Century French Oil on Canvas Family Priest Portraits Painting in Gilt Frame
Located in Dallas, TX
Decorate a study or office with this elegant antique oil painting. Painted in France and dated 1862, the canvas is set in an important carved giltwood frame. The subject matter depicts five portraits of a priest family titled "Les Quatres Freres et un Neveu" ( the four brothers and a nephew ). The art work also titled "Elegi Eos Mihi in Sacerdotes" is a Latin phrase which translates to "I have chosen them for myself as priests"; this expression is often found in religious texts and liturgical contexts, emphasizing divine selection or appointment. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, it underscores the belief that priests are chosen by God for sacred duties, serving as mediators between the divine and the people.
