Oil painting of St. Ignatius Loyola done by Cornelia

6 ft. 6 in. Oil painting of St. Ignatius Loyola done by Cornelia while in Rome; based on sketch by Edward von Steinle; was part of proposed triptych of the Nativity. "She then had reason to think she would not be permitted to rejoin her society again. In the event, Fransoni sent her back to St. Leonards where the picture remained until tranferred to Hastings in 1976. The other two panels were never painted."

1854

Painting of the Holy Child 01

August 15 1980 This picture used to be in Mayfield until the nuns returned to Neuilly after the first World War when rue Perronet was opened in 1921 by Rev. Mother Mary Theresa Walton, Rev. Mother Mary Frances Tholhieust (sp?), being Rev. Mother General; this picture was given to that Neuilly foundation by R. Mary Frances that this house may possess a momento of Rev. Mother Foundress, the picture being "attributed" to her. This was told to me and to the first and successive communities of the Holy Child Convent in Neuilly by Mother Mary S. Maurice Reconig (sp?) who was the companion of Rev. Mother Mary Theresa when the house was opened: (M. M. Maurice S was "in charge" of rue Perronet after Rev. Mother Theresa returned to England) - Later on, M.M. S. Maurice became the superior of Neuilly. During the second World War this picture was rescued and carefully preserved by a friend...returned to us and until the closing of Neuilly in 1975 was always hanging in the front hall of the house as it had been from 1921 to 1940. - Sr. Marie Pierre Rubeaux, SHCJ.
