"I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD" John 10:11 Mosaic Art Canvas Print
30" x 40" Canvas print of the KUFSTEIN TILE MOSAIC ... Austrian German "ICH BIN DER GUTE HIRT" = "I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD". It references words found in New Testament Mark 10:11 and as prophesied in Old Testament Psalm 23. Found on a monument of a tomb in Central Kufstein, princely Tyrol state, in western part of Austria. I cannot believe the ceramic tile mosaic is in such good condition as it is described by an art historian as 19th century which means from the 1800s. The rest of this tomb looks old and worn. But, the ceramic tile looks to be in miraculous condition. Beautiful colours. Who would have the time and the patience to put this together by hand? The name on the lower far right (here being mostly cropped off) appears to say "P. Raimund Rudolf Gschopf who was born April 10, 1901 ... died February 7, 19... [the year of death is not showing in the photograph.] It also appears to say: "O[rder of] St R. [?] Dr. [of] Theol[ogy]. ReligionsProf[essor.?] Benedictine Abbey Al... [?]. I would guess the "P." would mean he was a priest. Parts of three other names / dates show and the form for January show this is the Austrian form of German. Some date from the 1800s (1858, 1869). Could it be that the priests themselves put this mosaic artwork together? Across the top, barely readable it has REQUIESCANT IN PACE ... a Latin phrase meaning REST IN PEACE. There appear to be words at the bottom in impossible to read old Gothic font script calligraphy that I just cannot make out at all. The artistic style appears to look like a blend of 19th Century German artist Bernhard Plockhorst's painting THE GOOD SHEPHERD (C. 1878) and priestly Orthodox religious devotional icons.
The photographer, an art historian, also notes: "I, the copyright holder of this work [the high resolution photograph], release this work into the public domain. This applies worldwide.
In some countries this may not be legally possible; if so:
I grant anyone the right to use this work for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by law."
My notes (by Mark Edward Westerfield): Besides the slight camera angle computer correction, I gave slight computer enhancements as slight colour saturation, slight sharpness enhancement, and computer vignetting darkening periphery edges to focus attention to the centre.

Psalm 23
21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

John 10:11-18 King James Version (KJV)
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

Very impressive product! The canvas is sturdily made. It features a saw tooth hanger on the back, making it easy to "try out" the canvas in several rooms until I found the best location. It attracts good comments from my friends. I love it! The printing is wonderful! Colors are as bright and crisp as they appeared on the website.

I ordered this product to see what the quality was because I am selling it on my store. Plus it was on sale and it was an excellent price! I didn’t expect it to be as nice. It really is beautiful. I am relieved! The only thing I don’t like about it is the sawtooth hanger on the back. I prefer a wire hanging system. The sawtooth hanger was not even centered but I managed to hang it straight anyway. Overall I love it! I will add the wire myself. The printing was clear and crisp and the colors were excellent! The canvas was stretched tight and professionally done. I am very happy with the quality of the print!

I needed an odd size piece of art to cover an ugly electric box panel in my newly finished basement. This piece fit the bill exactly. I've always loved Alphonse Mucha's art and this product was the exact size and style I was looking for. The art is vivid and looks great in my new bathroom. The printing was much better than I was expecting. The image is crisp and clear and the colors are amazing.
