Blessed Art Thou is
an oil and acrylic painting by American artist Kate Kretz, depicting actress Angelina Jolie as the Virgin Mary, hovering in the clouds with her children above a Wal-Mart store. This painting was exhibited at the Miami Art Fair in January 2007, and created a worldwide controversy that was covered by ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and Fox television networks, as well as The International Herald Tribune, The New York Times and many other international news sources.

A full-size drawing study for the work was included in the exhibition "Beyond Re / Production: Mothering"
curated by Felicita Reuschling for the Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien, Berlin in 2011.
