The story of Christ Blessing the Children is found in the Gospels. When children are brought to Christ for blessing, and his disciples raise objections, Christ counters with the words inscribed across the top of this panel: "Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God" (Mark 10:14). The painting and its pendant, Christ and the Adulteress (seen to the right), share the theme of the free dispensation of divine grace, a central tenet of Lutheranism. Their small size suggests that they were meant for a private setting.

  • The canvas print: The printed canvas, which should not be confused with a painting on a canvas, is a digital copy printed on a canvas fabric. It has the exclusive effect of three dimensionality. The great advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, which implies that it is quite simple to hang your Canvas print without additional wall-mounts. Therefore, canvas prints are suited for all kinds of walls.
