Early Jonathan Blocher Early 1970’s Serigraph Illuminated Manuscript Philippians 4:13 Limited Signed Scripture Religious Wall Art

Called a “Manuscripture” by artist Jonathan Bloch, this unassuming yet captivating limited serigraph print sits within a handcrafted frame, also by the artist. Because Bloch’s works are usually kept as treasured family heirlooms, it is extremely rare to find one of his earliest printings.

The art and calligraphy are inspired by fifteenth-century manuscripts. Acid-free, original graphic (screen printing serigraph process) archival quality print, signed and numbered by the artist with fade-proof inks containing genuine pigments. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13

Before gaining global attention within the contemporary religious art world in the 1980’s when the Reverend Billy Graham commissioned several of his illuminated works to not only adorn the Billy Graham Center, but his personal office at the Cove as well, choosing Psalm 16:11 to hang near his desk. Since demand for his work outgrew his one person studio, he no longer makes the frames for his re-issued prints.

This piece dates back to the late 1970’s or early 1980’s, and the frame measures 6.5 x 5.5″ and comes with the artist’s original certification document mounted on the back.
