The Restored Vilnius Image - Entire This is the restored version of the original Divine Mercy image which was painted in 1934 in Vilnius, Lithuania by Eugeniusz Kazimirowski under St. Faustina's direction. This is the only image that was painted under her direction. Kazimirowski painted the original image between January and June of 1934. |
The Restored Vilnius Image - Face Between January and June of 1934, St. Faustina had the artist change
the face at least 10 times but was still not pleased with it. As St.
Faustina writes, "Once, when I
was visiting the artist who was painting the image, and saw that it was not as
beautiful as Jesus is, I felt very sad about it, but I hid this deep in my
heart. When we had left the artist’s house, Mother Superior [Irene] stayed in
town to attend to some matters while I returned home alone. I went immediately
to the chapel and wept a good deal. I said to the Lord, 'Who will paint You as
beautiful as You are?' Then I heard these words: 'Not in the beauty of the
color, nor of the brush lies the greatness of this image, but in My grace.'
