“Holy Mother Church has always been the patron of the fine arts…” (SC §122) For centuries, portraitists have routinely studied the bishops of holy Mother Church – there to find in lines etched on timeworn faces the story of her great suffering and even greater joy. Details that others might miss are brought to fore with the fine point of a graphite pencil in the hand of Michael Anthony Lawrence, Portrait Artist of Bishops.
“They seek to penetrate our nature, our problems and experience as we endeavor to discover and perfect ourselves and the world in which we live; they try to discover our place in history and in the universe, to throw light on our sufferings and joy, our needs and potentialities, and to outline a happier destiny in store for us.” Gaudium et Spes §62
“Bishops… should have a special concern for artists so as to imbue them with the spirit of sacred art and of the sacred liturgy.” (SC §127)
