Mary Mother of Mercy - FMR Art'è (Jacques Canonici)

For centuries, the figure of Mary has been the leaven for the creativity of artists who, inspired by the figure of the Mother of Jesus, have given life to works of painting, sculpture, poetry and music, creating some of the most important masterpieces of Western art. On the occasion of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy proclaimed by His Holiness Pope Francis, the FMR publishing house wanted to renew the great tradition of the livre de peintre by creating a true work of art in the form of a book dedicated to the figure of Mary, Mother of Mercy . The work is in fact based on an original iconographic corpus of 46 plates created by the French artist Jacques Canonici, alongside essays dedicated to the figure of Mary by Father Vincenzo Battaglia, and to the history of Marian iconography by Sandro Barbagallo. The project is completed by a volume of poetic and literary passages selected by Carlo Ossola, with an introduction and commentary by the author. Thanks to the collaboration with the Pontifical Delegation of the Shrine of the Holy House of Loreto, the presentation of the work will take place in the Marian site par excellence, a few steps from what tradition indicates as the House of Mary in Nazareth. On the same occasion, an exhibition of original works by Maestro Canonici will be inaugurated at the Bramante Cellars of the Apostolic Palace of Loreto. Entrance to the exhibition and one thousand copies of the catalogue, to which HE Monsignor Giovanni Tonucci, Pontifical Delegate Archbishop of Loreto, offered his valuable contribution, will be available free of charge until 19 June 2016.
