Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

 

This lovely Annunciation in oil, crayon and gold was painted by Viggo Pedersen of Denmark. Pedersen was better known as a landscape painter, though there are attestations that he did "some" religious art in the 1890's. That this Annunciation is his work is testified to by his son in an inscription on the reverse of the painting.

About the Angelus Project

We rightly admire Muslim neighbors and co-workers who put everything on hold five times a day in answer to the "call to prayer." But Christians have a call to prayer, too! It is the Angelus. Morning, noon and evening we are invited to pause and reaffirm our faith in the Incarnation: The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us (Jn. 1:14), because "God so loved the world that he sent his only Son" (Jn. 3:16).
The Angelus Project is a personal project of Sister Anne Flanagan, FSP, a Daughter of St Paul. Find out more about the media ministry of the Daughters of St Paul at DaughtersofStPaul.com.
