Paz / Peace

By A.Vonn Hartung

A giclee print of the original serigraph “Paz” by A.Vonn Hartung. In the spirit of praise and celebration it transports us to Bethlehem and the arrival of the Wise Men, here depicted as the Three Kings, come to adore, and pay homage to the true king, the infant Jesus. Not admitted entrance to the inn, Mary and Joseph present the Prince of Peace who is encircled by the blessed creatures with whom he shares his nursery, and the flock of sheep, which will come to symbolize his church, with the good shepherd here shown in St. Peter-esque presence. Joy to the world! The stars spin in the heavens, the trees dance, the horses take on the quality of great dignity for all, as the announcing angel brings the famed star to bear witness over this moment of epiphany and eternity. Hallelujah!
