No portraits means so much to the faithful as the likenesses of Jesus Christ that adorn countless churches and inspire us with a sure sense of His wisdom and spirituality, His divine sensitivity to human suffering. Prince of Peace is inspired by my painting by the same title that inspired and comforted so many of you. I’m very pleased by the graceful inclination of Our Lord’s head, which seems to link him to heaven and earth, and by the wonderfully subtle delicacy of His features, which so perfectly express His wise compassion.

All Thomas Kinkade sculptures begin with sculpting and re-sculpting soft clay. In sculpting, the clay form of the sculpture presented by the artist is just one step in the creation process. This clay version is completely destroyed when the initial molds are made. The finished metal casting, made from those molds, are all first generation castings of the sculpture. Therefore, each sculpture is an original casting, making each piece an original and subsequently, much more valuable.
In the old world tradition, the master mold is created. Once the mold is complete, molten metal is poured into the cavities in the mold and left to cool to room temperature. Each part is then removed for the mold, cleaned, assembled and hand tooled until it looks exactly as the artist created it.
