About This Design

The choice is yours whether to add a colorful background to this handsome mug or to leave it as is! + St. Rose of Lima () wanted to become a nun, but her father refused to allow it. Eventually, however, she was permitted to join the Third Order of St. Dominic to live out her apostolate at home. + In this stylized portrait, St. Rose is clad in a Dominican habit consisting of a white wimple, cream-colored scapular over a belted robe of the same color, and a black veil and mantle. On her head, she wears a crown of thorns like St. Catherine of Siena, her role model, instead of her more usual attribute: a crown of roses. (Roses are, however, incorporated into the picture’s elaborate oval frame not visible here). In her right hand, she holds a spray of lilies indicating her status as a consecrated virgin. In the background is a tropical Peruvian landscape. + St. Rose of Lima is the first Catholic in the Americas to be declared a saint. She is patron of gardeners and florists as well as Peru, the Americas, and the Philippines. + Feast: August + Image Credit (K ): Detail of an antique image of St. Rose of Lima, from Henry Riancey’s La vie des Saints : illustrée en chromolithographie, d’après les manuscrits de tous les siècles, publiée par F. Kellerhoven (Paris: Librairie Bachelin-Deflorenne, []), f. p. , from the designer’s private library. Franz Kellerhoven (), the chromolithographer, was a German priest-artist who migrated to Paris and established a printshop there. He specialized in artworks based on medieval manuscripts but did lithos of paintings and ancient architectural works as well.
