I agree with Andrew and HK. Classic western art is beautiful, but modern or "holy card" art leaves a lot to be desired. They are either effeminate or cartoonish looking. This is why more people (at least in our store) are turning to eastern icons of Jesus and Mary for their walls and home altars. It's especially hard to find a decent image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. When you find one, grab it, whether it shows the Heart attached to the person or not. Here's one I have on my web site for the month of June, dedicated to the Sacred Heart. This is one of the better images, in my opinion.  - Lisa |

A girly Jesus makes the Harlequin King cry.
And I say that as someone who could probably pass for a teenage girl if I had the right kind of wig.

I think this one is quite powerful (it's based on a vision of Claire Ferchaud):  And this is by Dali ... I don't think one can call it effeminate:  |

We know what real pizza tastes like and we know that a bagel is much more than a roll wit a hole in the middle. We judge people by what exit they are off the parkway or by what mall they live closest to. We drive SUVs and we tailgate any chance we get. All good nights must end in a diner, preferably with cheese fries. It's a sub, not a hoagie or a hero. and I wash it down with soda, not pop. I have a dawg, and I drink cawfee. ..and New York City, is "the city." We know 65 mph means 80 mph."-Anon
Foolish then, is he who departs from the Vicar of Christ Crucified, who has the keys of the Blood, or who goes against him . . . Even though the pope were satan incarnate himself, I may not lift up my head against him, but I must always humble myself, and beg for the Blood as a mercy, for in no other wise can I obtain a part of it -St. Catherine of Sienna.

I always liked this one because it's based on Heinrich Hoffmann's portrayal of "Jesus and the Rich Young Man" and also "Christ at Thirty-Three."

 Here is Heinrich Hoffmann's "Christ and the Rich Young Man." Basically, didishroom's image of the Sacred Heart was a detail of this Christ (the bust), with the heart painted over. - Lisa |
