[Alexandra Smith]

Dear Kris,

It seems that one image is reproduced

The site states: This setting of the words ?Christ himself taught us?  
was itself written for non-liturgical circumstances. The Polish  
painter Józef M?cina-Krzesz (1860-1924) produced a series of eight  
paintings, taking as their inspiration the familiar words from  
Matthew?s Gospel. The paintings were commissioned by the Austrian  
Ministry for Education and were displayed both in Vienna and in  
Warsaw. At the time of the Warsaw exhibition This setting of the words  
?Christ himself taught us? was itself written for non-liturgical

local journal Tygodnik ilustrowany published an article about the  
paintings, accompanied by black and white reproductions. Although the  
paintings themselves never reached Brno, the Women?s shelter there, in  
which both Zdenka and Olga Janá?kova, the composer?s wife and  
daughter, were involved, had a copy of the Warsaw journal.. Although
