If we read Matthew 1:1-17 and Luke 3:23-38 carefully, we can clearly see that both Gospels present the Genealogy of Joseph, who is the adoptive father of Jesus, not His biological father.
The Family Tree of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew starts with Abraham, while in Luke it begins with Adam, but that is not the only difference. The YouTube video above, released on Akaine’s own channel, explains that the family who bought the painting has the utmost respect for the work and they will care for it and display it in exhibitions for years to come.The New Testament provides two accounts of the Genealogy of Jesus, one in the Gospel of Matthew ( Matthew 1:1-17) and another in the Gospel of Luke ( Luke 3:23-38). It was purchased by an unnamed party - identified only as “one of the world’s most distinguished and esteemed families” - for $850,000. This year, after 16 years hidden away, “Prince of Peace” was put up for sale. The future of the painting seemed bleak, but in this time Kramarik never stopped painting, producing several other works of high quality that garnered her praise and respect from the same community that had decried “Prince of Peace.”Īkaine gained acclaim as a prodigious new face in the artistic scene as both a visual artist and a poet, but she never gave up on “Prince of Peace,” keeping track of the painting’s location and selling prints of the piece (she’s sold over 100,000) so that the memory of the hidden painting would not fade. This gave way to a lengthy legal battle, which the Kramariks never won. The family worked hard to find an agent they could trust to display the work and protect it from theft and damages, but unfortunately the next attempt they made to have “Prince of Peace” displayed ended in failure, as a clerical error marked the painting for sale rather than exhibition, and it was sold to a private collector. “Prince of Peace” will forever bear the marks of its abduction, with some of the sawdust embedded within the paint, which Kramarik likens to the scars left on Christ’s own head by the crown of thrones during his Passion. What followed was a long period of negotiation, but it was finally returned, although during this time the painting was not properly cared for and it came back to Kramarik covered in sawdust, which she meticulously removed. The painting was then sent out for exhibition, but Kramarik’s family was distraught to find that the painting was stolen and held for ransom. While the work exhibited a tremendous amount of skill from an artist of such a young age, it was not well received by critics at the time it was first shown, with some even going as far as to suggest burning the painting. In 2003, Kramarik met a traveling carpenter who inspired her to paint the face of Jesus. The work in question, a masterpiece of artistic realism called “Prince of Peace,” was stolen, mistakenly sold, and locked away in a private collection. The artwork was condemned, stolen, mistakenly sold, and locked away for 16 years.Ī painting of Christ by an eight-year-old child prodigy will finally be put on display, 16 years after the artist, Akiane Kramarik, completed it.
