Features medieval paintings from the Metropolitan Museum of Art accompanied by biblical passages from the King James Bible
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
The events surrounding the birth of Christ are depicted through masterworks--shown both in their entirety and in detail--from New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art. Accompanying the illustrations are excerpts from the King James Version of the Bible, along with interpretations of the works and discussion of technique and historical context. Many of the paintings are by lesser-known artists, among them the richly detailed Annunciation by Robert Campin, who pioneered in portraying biblical events in contemporary settings, and the Nativity with the Annunciation to the Shepherds by a follower of Jan Joest, remarkable for its innovative play of light and shadow. This beautiful volume would make a splendid gift, particularly for older readers and students of art. All ages.

The King James Version of the birth of Christ forms part of the text of this coffee-table book. Renaissance paintings from Flemish and Italian masters taken from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection are further accompanied by scholarly comment from a former Vice-Director of Education at the MMA. Large reproductions, many with details highlighted, invite closer study. But the pictures themselves are not compelling to young readers, and the text is unlikely to win many children's hearts.
