The painting that almost turned Picasso back to Catholicism.
He was a legendary director, but tout Holly wood was astounded to learn Frank Capra was a “conservative.”
In his later years, Capra returned to the Catholic Church and described himself as “a Catholic in spirit; one who firmly believes that the anti-moral, the intellectual bigots, and the Mafias of ill will may destroy religion, but they will never conquer the cross”
One of my favorite paintings of all time.
