Where can one purchase prints of classic religious art?  Does anyone know? There are so many I'd like to have. EWTN carries some beautiful framed art, quite a lot, but it's still limited. Thanks.

Try GetFed or Aquinas and More.  Undoubtedly there are more sources, but those are two that come easily to mind.

Thanks, Rick. I liked Aquinas and More. Lots of choices.

:) Ruthie,

While not wanting to take any business away from EWTN, etc., there are several Catholic and non-Catholic websites that offer "free print" paintings, etc. for downloading and printing off. I find them useful for making icons (glueing the copies on to 1/8 plywood sheets. Not only as wall decorations, but to serve as "people" in the creches I build. I can't carve people very well, so the copies come in real handly! and make for nice "extras.")

I'm going to peruse my files and see if I have any "free print" files listed on this iMac I use at the church where I volunteer at. As soon as I fine an address, I'll pass it along. For your sake, I hope somebody beats me to it.

Happy hunting. I'm sure you'll come across a great site or two.

PS: I'd check into the Smithsonian galleries. After all, we pay for it!
