Now this is good art....

"Virgen renacentista" - Aristides Artal
 
 
I just discovered this painter at the Deacon's Bench.  Deacon Kandra posted an image of St. Joseph the Worker by Artal for today's feast day.  I like his work very much.  Artal's Madonna has natural golden hair...
 
Aristides is a master.

    I love the Magnificat covers. The latest is a painting by Pierre Marie Dumont called Can't We Dream. It's a beautiful depiction of Mary in a diaphonous white gown holding baby Jesus. She's standing on a staircase. It's beautiful!

    I would love to sit in front of it for a very long time.

    His paintings are beautiful. He might have some connections with Opus Dei since he painted the portraits of St. Jose Maria Escriva and Bp. Alvaro de Portillo.
