In 1790, new laws passed by the state placed the Catholic Church under government control and required priests to swear an oath of loyalty. In Brittany, a region deeply rooted in the Catholic faith, many priests refused. They became known as \u003cstrong\u003erefractory clergy and were forced to worship in secret\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith churches closed to them, priests and faithful turned to the forest and the sea. Louis Duveau depicts one such \u003cstrong\u003ehidden Mass celebrated at night on small fishing boats\u003c\/strong\u003e. At the centre, a priest raises the Host over a simple altar. A torch held nearby casts light around him, creating a calm focus amid the dark sea. The long line of boats and the wide horizon express both danger and hope, while the quiet faces of the fishermen reveal deep reverence and trust in God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.25em;\"\u003eAvailable Sizes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the size that best fits your space:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 x 8 in (41 x 21 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 x 10 in (51 x 26 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 x 12 in (62 x 31 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 x 15 in (77 x 38 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36 x 18 in (92 x 46 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeed a custom size?
