Holy Kinship

Again in St Mary’s Church in Wayne, PA d’Ogries is at his best with exquisite draughtsmanship and as a colorist. This image is of the education of Our Lady, the parish patron, by her mother St Anne. Small vignettes show the marriage of Anne & Joachim above, the Annunciation to St Anne and the Annunciation to the BVM.

Note the elegance of the line and forms described  in color abstraction. St Anne holds, I believe, a gilly flower or carnation which is one of her emblems. This window was made in 1953.
