About this piece
"Our Lady of Anacortes Poster"
This beautifully rendered image of the Madonna and Child, flanked by the protective adoration of
the mighty Archangels Gabriel the Herald and Michael the Warrior reminds us of the majestic power of
art to encourage our contemplation of the mystery of spirituality and life beyond the end. The triptych
was a device often used by Flemish and Florentine artists alike to convey religious themes. Through
the use of perspective and historically stylized raiment we are drawn into the artists exhortation
to ponder our purpose. Our Town Press of Salem, Oregon should be justly proud of winning the
inaugural edition of the Heidelberg Best Art Print Award.
