This is how the faith is passed on. Our deepest, most important beliefs are taught to our children. The world is loud and full of folly, especially these days, but “train a child in the way he should go, and it will not depart him in his old age.” (Proveerbs 22:6) I look back on my own wayward youth, and I am so grateful for the teaching I received as a child.

Karl Gebhardt From (1860–1917) came from an artistic family. His father and uncle were professional artists, and both he and his brother became professional artists. Gebhardt studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, and later went to Rome to study art. He is associated with the Munich School, which had a carefully realistic style. He specialized in history paintings, but his oeuvre also includes interiors in an academic style. The title in German: Mutter mit kleinem Mädchen beim Gebet im Herrgottswinkel. ‘Herrfottswinkel’ means “corner of a room with a crucifix.” Oil on canvas; 37x30.7 inches. About 1917. It sold at auction in 2017. (source: mutualart.com)
