Description

"Loreto Embroideries
"
art by
Ezio Anichini
All the titles of Mary in the medieval Litany of Loreto -- a Catholic prayer sequence -- express an aspect of her relationship to us. The Litany has about 50 titles, and an Italian artist, Ezio Anichini, made illustrations of most of them in 1912. His work is Art Noveau, one of our favorite styles. He makes his Litany precise yet romantic and emotionally engaging.
A seamstress, possibly a Catholic nun but unknown to history, took 12 or 13 of Anichini’s pictures and made them into exquisite needlework. They are regarded as masterpieces of beauty, design, and execution.
We have restored the photos of 8 and offer them in one collection. (Only 6 shown above, but we promise, there are 8 so far and all beautiful.)
The titles are
Annunciation
Salus Infirmorum
Queen of All Saints
Mirror of Justice
Mater Amabilis
Madonna
Consolatrix
Mater Intemperata
