Two calligraphy pieces, matted in a self-standing frame, of Theresa’s portrait and portions from a famous prayer by Carmelite nun Teresa de Jesus (1515 – 1582). Active during the Counter-Reformation, Teresa became the central figure of a movement of spiritual and monastic renewal, reforming the Carmelite Orders of both women and men.

Hispanismo.org records that this is the only portrait of St. Teresa. Day after day she obediently sat for the painting as an act of penance. It was painted when she was 61 by Friar Juan de la Miseria in 1576. Reportedly when the picture was finish, with a faint smile, she said, “God forgive you Fray Juan! To think that after all I have suffered at your hands, you should paint me so bleary eyed and ugly!”

The framed prints read in Spanish- Nada te turbe todo se pasa. Quien a Dios tiene nada le falta.
In English- Let nothing disturb you. Nothing is lacking if you believe in God.

Frame Dimensions: 15” x 11”

From a smoke, pet-free, and healthy home.
