About the Collection
Most Highly Favored includes 36 paintings, sculptures and objects of devotion by artists from over twenty countries. The art comes from such places as Greece, Sweden, Japan, Russia, Central and Eastern Europe, Africa, the Balkans, Central and South America, and the United States. This exhibition includes works by internationally known printmakers such as Albrecht Dürer, Anders Zorn and Annibile Carracci. Some of the works are by contemporary artists such as Bruce Herman and Nancy Goes who see Mary as still having relevance in our time. Totally unknown artists, calligraphers and craftspeople, who have spent countless hours crafting beautiful objects that help us recall the life of the Virgin Mary, are also included in the show. The art in Most Highly Favored covers a wide range of media: Italian Renaissance style paintings, medieval and modern woodcuts, delicate etchings, along with classically sculpted statues, Byzantine inspired icons and illuminated manuscripts from Europe and the Middle East. All of these come together to offer a visual feast that inspires and communicates not only how the life of Mary has influenced the church, but also how her life still lives on in cultures around the globe.

"I have to say that the feedback to this collection was quite strong. People were very impressed, really enjoyed it, and several people told me they found it very moving. I did. So that was a win! Thanks so much for doing what you do. Your contribution both to the church and the world at large, with all that you’ve collected and shared over the decades as well as everything else you’ve done has been such a profound blessing. "
