The Disciples (Peter and John running to the sepulchre on the morning of the Resurrection) 1898.
Oil on canvas 81 x 141 cm
This is the only one of his works widely known and reproduced outside France and Switzerland. The original is in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris 

High resolution image available for your own print. 

Invitation to the feast 1908, 61 x 42 cms. This picture is principally an illustration for the parable of the same name in his book of the Parables. Many of these pictures were reproduced in larger formats and given some colouring for separate publication. They were widely used by religious organisations. This is taken from a particularly fine example in private ownership.

The date of "Suivez-moi" ("Follow me") is unknown to me but very probably about 1915 like the next picture. This image was widely reproduced for religious organisations. This imperfect image was recently (December 2016) kindly sent to me by its owner in the Republic of South Africa.

"Go forth into all the world and preach the gospel to all creatures" 1915
