I too have always been fascinated by the Katharina Emmerich image; but before didn’t know who it was by. Thanks for filling in a blank!
Yes,
Many of us have collecting imagery from around the web for years now. Of many pictures, we do not know where the pictures originated. I find this quite fascinating, this anonymous iconography. For example, in my local club hangs a very fuzzy picture of a bare chested girl with the arm of an orangutan around her. Nobody knows where they got it from.
