Papally Approved Art and Artists

Durand Gallery

Hope this displays properly. André Durand is patronized by the present Pope, the Dali Lama, and the English Royal Family. In the summer of 1999, he was chosen by the Pope "to spearhead a return to the great masterly values exemplified by Michelangelo, Raphael, Memling and Rogier van der Weyden".

Check these artists out through Carol Jackson
