About the Art: The parable of the Widow’s Mite is not a story of money, but of piety. ||It's about what we are willing to give of ourselves,|| said artist James Christensen of his best known painting. Christensen's The Widow’s Mite uses striking light and dark to symbolize spiritual and worldly power. The poor widow, who gave all she had, glows with an inner light. Even her ragged clothing is luminescent. By contrast, the rich men in their expensive robes fade into the shadows behind this woman's radiance. An element that made this work so unique was Christensen’s choice to depict the widow as a young woman. It was the custom of the time for a widow to marry one of her husband’s brothers or return to her own family. If neither of these occurred, a woman had few options for supporting herself or her | Rolled Canvas in Tube.
