A Jesus Painting and a Print

[alabama11]

The painting was given to me by my dear mother and she said it was sold to her at an antique shop having once been in a Monastery. Possibly it is a print with a very nice frame. The print on right I bought recently at an estate sale. Does anyone have any general knowledge to share about these? The print is on thick cardboard like material. Thanks for looking.

Nice! The second one is a print by Heinrich Hofman.
Here's a link about him

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Hofmann_(painter)

I found prints similar that list as Jesus in he Garden of Gethsemane circa 1920's.

Will look for first print.
Is there any information on the back?

Correction: the second is titled " Christ in Gethsemane" and the original painting was in 1890.

I hope the experts chime in on these.

As has been referenced above, this is from Wiki:
Four of the most famous works of Hofmann are in the possession of the Riverside Church in New York: Christ and the Rich Young Ruler, Christ in Gethsemane, Christ in the Temple and Christ's Image. According to information of the Riverside Church, the painting Christ in Gethsemane is without much doubt one of the most copied paintings in the world.

I sent a copy to an art teacher. Hopefully she will be able to find something.

Thank you all for the great research. I got #2 for $25 and thought that a great buy. Thank you painting scholars. Nothing on back.

Just doing some tidying up of old unidentified works.

Lovely keepsakes in remembrance of your mother. The first one is a print from a painting by Charles Bosseron Chambers (1880-1964) titled “Confide in Me”. Chambers was a devout Catholic painter, illustrator and teacher born in St. Louis, Missouri and sometimes referred to as the "Norman Rockwell of Catholic art".
