Hidden Dutch Style Paintings Found Behind Holy Trinity Altar
Two large 19th century paintings depicting the Holy Family and St John were discovered behind altars at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Richmond Washington County. Likely painted 1868 to 1874 in Dutch style they are seen only from an attic storage room. Parishioners plan Holy Trinity Day fundraising for handicap access and interior plastering while considering restoration. Richmond lies northeast of Kalona about 2 1/2 miles south.
