Madonna of the Dry Tree (Petrus Christus, 1462-5) Magnet
Madonna of the Dry Tree or Our Lady of the Barren Tree are names given to a small 14.7 centimetres (5.8 in) x 12.4 centimetres (4.9 in) oil-on-oak panel painting dated c. 1462–1465 by the Early Netherlandish painter Petrus Christus. Unusually dark and dramatic for the mid-15 century, it shows the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child, who holds an orb crowned with a cross, standing on a disembodied dead tree trunk, surrounded by withered branches that encircle them to form a crown of thorns. It was unattributed and largely unknown until 1919,
stark and haunting imagery is thought to be derived from the Book of Ezekiel, with the Dry Tree (or solitary tree) representing a withered and dead version of the Garden of Eden's Tree of Knowledge, brought back to life by presence of the Virgin and Christ. The 15 golden "A"s hanging from its branches may represent the first letter of the Angelic Salutation, the Ave Maria.

I ordered a few of these magnets for my sister for her birthday. Absolutely love the way they turned out. The magnet feels fairly strong for a fridge magnet. The quality of the picture is really nice too. I'm very impressed with the quality of them. Definitely will be ordering more in the future. I'm very impressed with the quality of the printing. I was a little worried at first when ordering it. But I'm glad i went through with the order. I love how they turned out

I cannot believe how fast they ship the items out and the quality is superb. I have ordered four things from them so far. The quality of the print is excellent. There is nothing cheap about it.
