Cloister in Palermo with a Franciscan – Martinus Rørbye – Catholic Art – Catholic Gift – Archival Quality Revelation Pope Pius X declared him

Pope Pius X declared him Patron Saint of preachers

But about 1845 her husband left her

Yet she had been badly treated by many people because of it

The heart is encircled with the crown of thorns and includes fiery flames of Love

I painted the original with acrylic paints on a 12 x 12 inch canvas (and is available to buy)

Cloister in Palermo with a Franciscan – Martinus Rørbye – Catholic Art – Catholic Gift – Archival Quality Revelation Pope Pius X declared him"Cloister in Palermo with a Franciscan Monk" Martinus Rorbye This peaceful painting captures the quiet stillness of the contemplative life. We overlook a monk who is looking at the enclosed cloister garden of his Franciscan monastery. Prayer and the Mediterranean sun have soaked this place for centuries, based on a real cloister. It is serene and beautiful. Scenes of this kind of prayer life bring calm to us. The painter, Martinus Rorbye (1803 1848),
