We are going to discuss about a masterpiece of art originally drawn in the period of word war 2. The specialty of the picture is it has drawn in a Christmas Eve like today. It was drawn in Stalingrad, Russia in a German army baroque. In the time both Russians and Germans suffered with heavy casualties. There were signs of defeat to the Germans. The areas always aimed by bombers and heavy artilleries gun shots. Under such devastating conditions faith and talent created the historical masterpiece in a war field. Today the picture is considered as a icon of collision of past enemies (Russia, Germany, England) His Name was Dr Kurt Reuber. The picture is totally drawn by Charcoal on an old map. Its a picture of Madonna and Jesus. In a side of the picture can see a writing. The writing is in German language. Meaning of the words is Light, Life and Love. This picture had given a big relief to the German soldiers who were helpless in the war field in the cold Christmas Eve. Dr Kurt Reuber later became a prisoner in Russia. He died in a Russian prison. Later his greatest art work sent to Germany. In a Church in Berlin it is keeping as a exhibit to public. Copies of the original sent to Stalingrad and England to mark the post-war reconciliation between former enemies.
Even for today Stalingrad Madonna is giving the warm feeling of a beloved mother, which totally gives a meaning of Light, Life and Love. I hope not only the Christianity but majority of other religions also brings a big lesson and message about the peace. I hope Christmas would be much meaningful in a peaceful background. Current political background is not a classic and great paining like Stalingrad Madonna. To make a peaceful world, the mission should be started from the family then we should advance till the world level. For every good mission always need a good vision and a good will.
