Giving Alms - Anonymous
In this giclee reproduction of “Alms Giving,” we instantly see that charity is inseparable from the Catholic Church and the Cross. The anonymous artist shows two wealthy women exiting a church, finding themselves surrounded by the poor. The Church, therefore, becomes the shelter for the impoverished and a means of them gaining charity from those better-off than themselves. The most dramatic of the beggars – in the lower left – forces our attention to the key point of the painting – though it is not centered in the painting itself, and almost seems to be, but isn’t, an after thought – the Crucifix. In fact, this work illustrates the remarkable saying of St. Lawrence. When he was ordered by the prefect of Rome to surrender the treasures of the Church, the saint gathered the sick and the poor, and said, “This is the treasure of the Church.”
