Recently noticed that a painting from the Toledo Museum of Art, El Greco's "Prayer of Jesus in the Garden," is featured in the Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It illustrates the chapter on the Lord's Prayer.

"The Infant Christ" at Toledo Museum of Art

The Toledo Museum of Art has added The Infant Christ by Spanish 17th-century sculptor Juan Martínez Montañés (1568–1649) to its collection.

More details HERE and at the Museum web site. "All Art News" notes, "The sculpture has strong resonance with the Museum’s Spanish 17th-century paintings, including St. Joseph and the Christ Child and Murillo’s The Adoration of the Magi, all on view in the Great Gallery."
