...DeLaSalle received some years back from Lantz Welch!
Lantz was visiting Rome in the early 1990s and visited one of the Vatican art academies where student artists were learning various classic methods of creating mosaics. This artist (pictured) had completed a mosaic and Lantz Welch thought of DeLaSalle Co-Founder, Godfrey Kobets, who was a very devout Catholic.
He decided to buy this painting and then donate it to DeLaSalle in honor of Mr. Kobets.
The picture currently is on loan and hanging in the Rockhurst University Gallery.
What a thoughtful contribution from good friends, Lantz and Laura Welch!
