New! Winter Landscape with Convent Church – Carl Hilgers – Catholic Art Print – Archival Quality Choose Paper Size (Image is Smaller):8.5x11 Wood Frame Jessie Wilcox Smith was oneIn this dramatic 19th century Romantic painting, the Gothic church is centered in the light. The moonlight comes from behind it as though it emanates from the church itself. The spires mingle with the glowing, swirling clouds. The lit areas around the church make it to be the light, and the surrounding world the darkness. The priest and the altar boy carry away their own light in their lanterns. We carry the light of Christ with us. Carl Hilgers
