Traditional Catholic art gains a compelling new medium in gallery wrap canvas. Canvases featuring this modern art trend combine special printing technology and the technical skill of our Steubenville craftsmen to carefully wrap and tuck the canvas around the back of a 3/4" thick engineered wood mount. This method creates an impressive visual display with a faux 3D effect as the image continues around all visible sides of the mount. The canvas is free of visible staples or tacks and stands alone with no need for a frame. Each canvas hangs with a wire in the back and has an attractive satin-matte finish.

Our St. Joseph (Younger) gallery wrapped canvas is depicts the foster father of Jesus, St. Joseph, holding the Child closely and tenderly in one arm and lilies in the other hand - a sign of the great purity and virtue this most chaste spouse of Mary was given. The infant Jesus reposes in his arms close to his ear with mouth open, as if in the midst of a conversation. St. Joseph, as an example to all fathers, gazes upon him in great devotion, awe, and love. May St. Joseph, chosen spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary and earthly father of the Word made flesh, be for us a father as he was to the Christ Child. "O St. Joseph, Press Him in my name and kiss His fine Head for me, and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls, pray for us."

A simple, neat, and beautiful way to adorn your home, office, or parish - or even to give as a gift to a friend, relative, or priest. Handcrafted at our shop in Steubenville, OH.
