An archival giclée print created with museum-quality pigment inks on fine art paper, faithfully preserving the depth, color, and contemplative presence of the original painting.
This powerful portrait of St. Maximilian Kolbe captures the deep resolve and radiant courage of a man who gave his life in love. The strength in his gaze reminds us of Christ’s own words: “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (John 15:13).
Clothed in the humble habit of a Franciscan, and holding the Rosary—the weapon of peace he cherished—Kolbe appears as a witness to the triumph of sacrificial love over hatred. His steadfast spirit echoes his own words: “No one in the world can change Truth. What we can and should do is to seek truth and to serve it when we have found it.”
Even in the face of darkness at Auschwitz, St. Maximilian’s heart was aflame with hope, for he entrusted everything to Mary, the Immaculata. He once declared: “Never be afraid of loving the Blessed Virgin too much. You can never love her more than Jesus did.”
This drawing invites us to contemplate not only his martyrdom, but his lifelong witness of fidelity. Through his eyes we glimpse the light of a man who, in imitation of Christ, transformed a place of death into a testimony of eternal life: “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:5).
