Saint Maria Goretti - Virgin and Martyr Icon Print

Maria Goretti was eleven years old when protecting her purity led to her death. Stabbed fourteen times on July 5, 1902, she died the following day — but not before forgiving her attacker and expressing her hope that he would one day join her in heaven. She was canonized in 1950, the youngest saint of the modern era, with her mother present in St. Peter's Square — a unique instance where a parent has witnessed their child's canonization. In this icon, Vivian Imbruglia places Maria beneath the protective mantle of the Blessed Virgin Mary — a profound statement of Marian intercession and the bond of chastity that they share. Maria holds white lilies and a palm branch — the classic marks of the virgin martyr — with a rosary clasped in her hands. This is a rare and moving composition: Mary and Maria together, Mother most Pure sheltering her beloved daughter. Printed on premium archival giclée paper with rich, enduring color.
