EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of the Baptismal Font at San Luis Rey Mission Church in 1936. Created by Howard H. Sherman, this artwork showcases the intricate details and vibrant colors that adorn this sacred object. The image transports us back to a time when Christianity played a significant role in American society. The font, with its multi-colored design, stands as a testament to the rich heritage and artistic craftsmanship of that era. Located inside the mission church, this baptismal font served as an essential element in religious ceremonies. Its presence symbolized purity and rebirth, providing a spiritual sanctuary for those seeking solace and guidance. Sherman's use of watercolor gouache colored pencil and graphite on paper brings out every minute detail of the font's decorative arts. Each stroke highlights the meticulousness with which it was created, showcasing Sherman's talent as an artist. As we admire this period item from the 1930s-1940s, we are reminded of America's deep-rooted connection to religion and its influence on art. This piece serves as a reminder of our country's diverse cultural history while also celebrating Sherman's contribution to preserving it through his work. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art, this print allows us to appreciate not only Howard H. Sherman’s skill but also offers insight into how religious objects can be transformed into works of art that transcend time and inspire generations to come.
