Margaret Lazzari completed a mural on four walls and the dome of the Mary Chapel at Our Savior Catholic Church and USC Caruso Catholic Center in Los Angeles. The 700+ square-foot mural was executed off-site in pieces during 2018, installed in February 2019 and dedicated in March 2019.
The painting was inspired by the dome of the early Christian church, Galla Placidia, in Ravenna, Italy.
Mary’s pose and dress was inspired in part by the Madonna of Misericordia by Piero della Francesca. The pattern on the interior of the cloak imitates the dress on Our Lady of Guadalupe.
