In this revised biography of an art mystery and an intense family dynamic, Debra Lynn has added an epilogue that details the current status of a painting her father gave her before he died.
At a Palm Beach auction house in 1950, Debra Lynn's grandmother, Ethel Cordelia Mount, is drawn to purchase a tiny religious-themed painting, from the estate of Joseph Early Widener, a founding benefactor of the National Gallery of Art. It would remain mostly unnoticed on a hidden wall space until re-discovered in 2009 gathering dust in the family garage.
In a moment of profound healing Debra's father gives her this tiny work of art. Her lifelong interest in Grail history is immediately triggered by the hidden symbolism she sees in the unknown artist's structure. Compelled to investigate, the author embarks on a research journey with art conservators and scientists that is both slow and laborious.
As the mysterious painting reveals its secrets layer-by-layer, we witness the author's unwinding of personal challenges associated with the patterning from the dysfunctional distortion of alcoholism in her family's past. The parallel journey of discovery takes us across the globe, giving the reader a glimpse into the complex world of art research.
Putting pieces together like a proverbial puzzle, the author asks what historical truths have been buried in illusion and distortion. How might history have unfolded to create this powerful artwork that seemed to cause discomfort for the casual observer? How does this same need to look away parallel our emotional response to worldwide trauma today? How do we navigate life when all we hold dear crumbles and falls away? What does it mean to make a quantum leap to where Love All, Serve All lives?
At a time when humanity is facing its greatest challenges, Divine Mirror offers hope and insight into our personal power, as well as the consciousness required to help heal an ailing world.
