Comment: Can't see how this could possibly meet notability criteria for works of art, it seems like it is based on one event, the fact that the painting was stolen. If anything it could be consolidated in the article on the person who painted it. Netherzone (talk) 14:28, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

- Comment: Not clear why we need a separate article on the painting when Akiane has more content than this. Sources here are also poor. Theroadislong (talk) 15:30, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

"Prince of Peace" is a painting created by American artist Akiane Kramarik in 2003 when she was eight years old. The painting depicts Jesus Christ and has received domestic and international attention. Kramarik has stated that the painting was inspired by a vision of Jesus.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
History
[edit]At age eight she had long been seeking the right face to help her paint an image of Jesus from her dreams and visions when a family friend brought to her a carpenter as a possible subject. The man's face closely resembled what Kramarik remembered as the face of Jesus. She completed the portrait in 40 hours. Not long after, it was shipped to her first agent for exhibition, but that agent stole it. Eventually, the artwork was returned, only for her second agent to sell it without permission when it was only meant to be exhibited. For sixteen years the original painting was held stored in a basement, with the then-owner unwilling either to show or to sell it. In December 2019, Prince of Peace was recovered by the artist's family and sold to a private collector for $850,000. After twenty years, the original is now available for public viewing at Beloved Gallery in Marble Falls, Texas.[6] [7] [8]
Reception
[edit]Since its creation, Prince of Peace has been featured in various TV shows, books, magazines, media and reproduced in different print formats.[9][10]
