Synopsis
The first in a new series inspired by key events in the New Testament. This book presents a sequence of over 100 masterpieces of Christian art, each depicting the poignant and dramatic moment when the Angel Gabriel reveals to the Virgin Mary her destiny as the Mother of God. The images, each on a single page with a simple caption opposite, speak for themselves; together, in their beauty and variety they form an extended meditation on a religious mystery and a human dram that has inspired the finest artists through the ages.

Review
"Executed with rare intelligence."-Neil MacGregor, formerly Director of the National Gallery and currently Director of the British Museum, London, World of Interiors "The immensely turnable pages are peppered with bite-size, insightful... Observations."-Apollo "A stunning array of images... of enviable tranquillity and beauty."-The Independent "All wonderfully and subtly different, these images are an inexhaustible source of pleasure and inspiration... Rich and endlessly varied... The human drama of the Annunciation has a universal appeal."-The Universe "This little Phaidon series... has been executed with rare intelligence. The images (well produced) come from all over the world, supreme masterpieces rubbing shoulders with surprising and magnificently chosen obscurities."-Neil McGregor, Director of the British Museum, World of Interiors
