Description
Sister Wendy Beckett's book looks afresh at the christmas story and invites us to consider the true signifiance of christ's life. Her personal selection of over 40 beautiful paintings from manuscripts held by the Vatican and Italian State Libraries ( many of which are seen here for the first time) illustrate Bible stories that are familar to all of us, yet whose significance is so elusive. The charming, curious and often humorous illustrations in this book are the testament of artists who dedicated their lives to producing work in praise of God. A personal appreciation of the christmas story by Britain's favourite art historian. Illustrated by a special selection of beautiful miniatures and illuminations, many not seen for centuries.
