Review:
The best part of this pocket-sized edition of the Christmas story, with its simple passages presented opposite fine religious paintings (or details from paintings), is the mini history lesson that explains the background and significance of each painting. In succinct form the book gives a bit of context for the mostly Dutch and Venetian artists, among them Veronese, Rembrandt, and Nicolaes Berchem, whose light-bathed Annunciation to the Shepherds particularly captures the awe and moment of the angels' appearance to the men tending sheep.
