Louvre Painting at CMCC

In 2006 an amazing painting by Lawson was donated to CMCC, and it hangs behind the pulpit in our Chapel.It is approximately ten feet long and depicts the scene from Luke 7: 36-50 where the sinful woman washes Jesus' feet with her tears, wipes them with her hair and anoints them with fragrant oil.

The painting is a study of an original painted in 1737 by artist Pierre Sableyras on display in the Louvre Museum in Paris. You have to see it to believe it!
