Product Description
In this beautiful book, Sister Wendy Beckett celebrates the anniversary of the birth of Christ, by re-telling the Christmas story. Sister Wendy Beckett introduced millions of people to a new appreciation of art through the Story of Painting, shown on BBC television.
A nun since the age of 16 who continues to live in seclusion on the grounds of a Carmelite monastery, Sister Wendy has become one of the world's most original celebrities, interpreting and critiquing great works of art in an uncanny, insightful and informative fashion that speaks to everyone from art historians to art lovers. Now she turns her unique powers of communication to the Christmas story. Sister Wendy's Nativity is a brand new book illustrated with over 40 exquisite miniatures and illuminations depicting the nativity story, held by the Vatican Library and other Italian State libraries.
Many of the illustrations have never been seen by the public before. They are particularly suited to a narrative as they were themselves painted around a text to instruct and inspire.
