You Will Know Them by Their Fruits
"Kelly Latimore, a St. Louis activist and artist, created the painting that hangs in the law school."
In an April interview, Latimore explained how the painting came about.
“It was commissioned by my partner Evie Schoenherr as a way to mourn George Floyd. In my first sketch, Mary was looking at the savior, but we ended up shifting her gaze to the viewer,” he said. “It was Evie’s idea. That subtle shift was powerful. It wasn’t focusing on the death, which was horrible, but the viewer, and guiding us to communal thought and prayer and action.”
Father E. Sylvester Berry, eminent 20th Century scripture scholar:
“The dragon is seen in heaven which is here a symbol of the Church, the kingdom of heaven on earth. This indicates that the first troubles of those days will be inaugurated within the Church by apostate bishops, priests, and peoples, — the stars dragged down by the tail of the dragon.
