Description

A Star to Guide Them by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

A Star to Guide Them is a rare, limited edition lithograph and the Annual Christmas Print for 2007 by P. Buckley Moss. The artwork portrays the Three Wise Men as they follow the radiant Star of Bethlehem, symbolizing their spiritual journey to honor the birth of Christ. Each figure is robed in Moss’s signature folk-art style, with graceful camels carrying them across a pale, ethereal landscape.

The towering star at the top of the composition serves as both a guiding light and a focal point, emphasizing the sacred theme of divine direction and faith.

Style & Technique

Rendered in Moss’s recognizable folk-art style, the piece combines soft washes of watercolor tones with the crisp detail of line-work. The figures of the Magi and their camels are elongated and stylized, a hallmark of Moss’s spiritual and religious imagery.

This lithograph is a rare, limited edition and is considered signed and numbered before release—by Pat’s own hand for pre-1994 works, or by her signature matrix for later editions such as this. This print is part of the P. Buckley Moss Christmas Collection and Moss Religious Collection.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood is reverent, uplifting, and filled with quiet majesty. Moss’s decision to capture this moment reflects her ability to translate profound biblical narratives into visually simple yet emotionally powerful imagery. The star not only guides the Magi but also symbolizes hope, faith, and spiritual direction—timeless themes that resonate far beyond the Christmas season.

Placement & Gift Ideas

This print is ideal for collectors of Moss’s Annual Christmas Editions and makes a treasured gift for those who celebrate the religious meaning of Christmas. It is also a meaningful addition to spiritual or holiday art collections.

Every Moss print is considered signed and numbered prior to release, whether through Pat’s personal hand-signature (pre-1994) or by the matrix of her signature applied to later editions.
