This painting was a cover for The Saturday Evening Post on December 23, 1922. It’s a loving portrait of Mary and Jesus as costumed from those times. We love this picture for its own unique beauty, but also as a fascinating time-marker for the Faith as it passes through the ages. Medieval artists often made Mary look like a Medieval princess, and so forth. The 1920s were a tumultuous time, more so than the much-vaunted 1960s. The Post, a stalwart of mainstream Americana, had a lot of bobbed-haired women on its covers that year. It was the fashion. In this Christmas issue, they carry the Madonna and Child icon into a contemporary look, keeping tradition in balance with the changing tastes of the still thoroughly Christian, magazine-buying public. Mary’s hair is not bobbed; it is in a bun. Her hemline is left out of the discussion. For the moment, she is a figure that young women of the time can identify with, a young mother in love with her babe. Joseph Christian Leyendecker (1874-1951) was a famous American artist who did hundreds of covers for The Saturday Evening Post and other magazines, as well as a huge output of commercial art and his own artistic paintings. His style evolved over the decades, as he had a keen sense of the mood of America. ** IMPORTANT ** THE IMAGE IS SMALLER THAN THE PAPER! There is a blank border around the image. Approximately 0.5" wide for 5x7, 1.3" for 8.5x11, 1.6" for 11x14, and 1.75" for 13x17 and 16x20. For the two poster sizes, 18x24 and 24x36, we use 0.5" borders. We do this because the ratio of the rectangle of the art almost never matches the rectangle of the paper, and if it did happen to match one size, it would not match the others. Most fine art printers do this because otherwise they’d have to crop the art or warp it to make it fit the paper. The border looks good. It gives the picture a faux matted appearance. There is almost always a little more border either on the left-right sides, or the top-bottom, depending on whether the ratio of the art is wider or taller than the paper. We make Archival Quality fine art prints: – Acid-free paper – Archival pigments – Cardboard backer for sizes 11x14 and less. – Above story of the art – Enclosed in a tight-fitting, crystal-clear bag. – Rated to last 200+ years without fading if kept dry and out of the direct sun.
