A Consecrated Picture Inspires Moravian Converts
A Gypsy girl employed as a model for a German painter questioned the crucifixion scene and inspired the artist to finish a painting with the inscription I did this for thee. The work moved a former angel to faith and later influenced Count Zinzendorf, founder of the Moravian church, to seek God. The story underscores art’s power to rebuke immorality and uplift devotion.
