+++++ What Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++ "In 1980, as an art student, I came to have a personal relationship with Christ. Just a few weeks later, awash in my new found faith, I found myself sitting in an art class, my mind wandering. As I went through the motions, my eyes on the disinterested model posing for the class, I was suddenly struck with a powerful vision. The vision that was laid on my heart that day is the painting you see before you, The Prince of Peace." ~~Thomas Kinkade
