William Grosvenor Congdon (April 15, 1912, Providence, Rhode Island – April 15, 1998, Milan) was an American painter who focused on religious themes. He gained notoriety as an artist in New York City in the 1940s, but lived most of his life in Europe. In 2001, The Sabbath of History, a book combining his works and the words of the future Pope Benedict XVI was published.
