The Virgin Adoring the Host,1852
Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (French, 1780–1867)
"The Eucharist had so powerful an attraction for the Blessed Virgin that she could not live away from it. She lived in it and by it. She passed her days and her nights at the feet of her divine Son…. Her love for her hidden God shone in her countenance and communicated its ardour to all about her." - St. Peter Julian Eymard
