The Song of Bernadette 1944

Norman Rockwell's "The Song of Bernadette" (1944) depicts a young woman in a white veil, with her hand placed on her heart, looking upwards. The portrait is a depiction of the character Bernadette Soubirous, a young girl who claimed to have seen visions of the Virgin Mary in Lourdes, France. Rockwell's style is a recognizable blend of realism and sentimentality, capturing the essence of this famous story.
