These dramatic and moving pieces will inspire you to raise your eyes - and your thoughts - to heaven.

This one, Voyage of Life: Childhood was painted by Thomas Cole in 1840. It is the first in a series of 4 paintings symbolizing the voyage of life. A gorgeous and meaningful gallery of work, the four pieces are an allegory for human life in its trials and joys: 

With each progressive image, the travel is reversed from the previous picture. In Childhood, the infant glides from a dark cave into a rich, golden-green landscape of  hope and promise. In Youth, the boy takes control of the boat and aims for a shining castle in the sky. 

In Manhood, the adult relies on prayer and religious faith to sustain him through rough waters and a threatening landscape. In Old Age, the man is once again guided by his angel to heaven across the water.

Whether you're seeking a personal devotional piece or a treasured heirloom to pass down through generations, bring the beauty of Faith into your home with unmatched elegance and craftsmanship. Elevate your own sacred space, or give as an extraordinary gift of Catholic home decor. Available only at The Catholic Company.
