Grace of God by Jay Bryant Ward | Christian Art Print – Jay Bryant Ward

"And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him." -Luke 2:40

The Story Behind the Painting

This painting was planned as an image of Jesus praying with a little boy and many people still see it that way. However, as I prepared to paint it, I realized there was much more... We were expecting our third child, and I started thinking my role as a father and about Joseph, the sacred calling and tremendous responsibility he must have felt. What inspired and sacred moments must have been shared as Joseph did what he could to prepare the Lord in those tender early years, and I wonder who may have learned more...

About This Image

In this luminous devotional painting by Jay Bryant Ward, a bearded figure robed in deep crimson and white draws a curly-haired child close, hands folded, bare feet at rest. Warm golden light emanates from behind, casting a quiet radiance over the tender scene — evoking protection, peace, and the profound intimacy of divine love.

Rendered in the tradition of classic sacred portraiture, Grace of God carries the visual language of centuries of devotional art while feeling deeply personal. It is the kind of image that stills a room — equally at home above a nursery crib, in a family hallway, or in a place of quiet reflection.

Printed on gallery-quality media with archival inks, this fine art print brings enduring warmth and spiritual meaning to any space. Made in the USA.
