Blashfield's mosaics here are (in my opinion) light years superior, and a lot less scary, than the mosaics in the much more famous National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.</i><br /><br />What, you're not a fan of beardless Hitler Youth Jesus (at NSIC)? ;-p<br /><br />Yeah, whenever I watch a mass at NSIC (on my vice, EWTN, natch), I gag on those things, esp. Aryan Jesus. [I do like the recent "Universal Call to Holiness" sculpture over the inside doors there though.]<br /><br />Wonderful post on Blashfield---thanks for rediscovering him for us, Doug.JCFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343439372519556254.post-52444787215302301162011-02-19T11:36:44.281-05:002011-02-19T11:36:44.281-05:00You might be interested in his murals in Philadelp...You might be interested in his murals in Philadelphia at the Episcopal Cathedral.<br /><br />http://www.andipantz.com/philadelphia-cathedral/Davisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343439372519556254.post-2724541066846371052011-02-19T09:54:00.229-05:002011-02-19T09:54:00.229-05:00Thank you, Doug.Thank you, Doug.Leonardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16667415590825321701noreply@blogger.com
