The Paintings below
are by Felippo Costaggini, an artist
from Rome(1839–1904) who also
worked on the paintings in the Capitol in Washington,
D.C. and the Baltimore
Cathedral. The images below may be seen at the
left and right sides of the sanctuary ceiling.
This
portrait of Pope Leo
XIII was painted by the
same artist, Felippo Costaggini, who
painted the images above. A Mrs.Mary Frances happened
upon this by chance; her father had been the station
master at the old Green Spring Station and someone
had abandoned it there. Joseph D'Adamo obtained
the portrait from Mrs.Shepherd.
Costaggini's
signature (enlarged below) at the bottom right
corner of the painting attests to its authenticity
