The Painting Friars
The Painting Friars by Albert Conrad (oil on panel, 19th century)
“An artist who paints our Lord or the Blessed Virgin honors them and recalls them to our mind. Nevertheless, the painting claims no other merit than what it is, a creation of wood and color. God's servant is like a painting, a creature of God through whom God is honored because of His blessings. A servant must not lay claim to any more merit than wood and color do. Honor and glory must be given to God alone.” - St. Francis ( Legend of Perugia)
