MISSION BELL ORIGINAL PAINTING
$700.00
10″ X 14″ MISSION BELL oil on canvas board original painting wall art. This original art is a painting of the facade of the chapel at the Mission San Lorenze de Picuris, twenty four miles southeast of Taos, New Mexico. Although certainly not one of the biggest or most well known of New Mexico’s mission chapels, the facade of the San Lorenzo chapel is a classic example of New Mexico’s unique iconic Spanish Colonial architecture. The Spanish built the first small chapel in 1620. The chapel has been rebuilt several times following conflicts, including the Pueblo Revolt in 1680. Today the chapel is still a place of worship and celebrates its feast every year on August 10. This original oil painting was painted on a standard size canvas board for easy framing to hang on your wall at home.
