1. A beautiful selection -- and the little Chapel of St. Luc in Normandie Coeur is very pleased to add some of the works to its small collection (where visitors are always welcome).

These are lovely. One (or more) will find a home in the office Lorsagne maintains for her godfather Fr. Camara who must hide from the State since the Society of Jesus was expelled from France.

I confess that I was not deeply familiar with Murillo's work before I began my research for this year's Nativity display, but in few short days I became very fond of his approach to the subject. His Holy Family pieces are so very intimately family pieces, and the faces of his Virgin catch my heart.

"intimately family pieces" -- says it beautiful. They are personal . . . not removed or "not of this world." It's the humanity that makes them so accessible and also underscores the miracle.

Tiamat, these are wonderful. Thankyou for your advice and kind words re our Christmas gift at Anti, I was so pleased to hear from you.My laptop dislikes travel and sitting on my lap in the sun so I am again in blackness until my return to my hometown. Fondest regards, Jane.
