This books combines the King James Version of the Christmas story from the gospels of Matthew and Luke with pictures from the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The pictures are a good cross-section of religious art from various periods and places. While the quality of the art was high, I found myself wishing for the unity of other Christmas story books I have read that were thoughtfully illustrated by a single artist. It functions well as an art book but less than well as a storybook...
Gorgeous, classic paintings paired with Scripture passages.
pretty book. ART!
This was one of our new Christmas book purchases this year, and it was more for me than for the kiddo. Beautiful paintings from the Metropolitan Museum of Art accompanied by beautiful text from the King James Bible. Can't go wrong.
A lovely book full of wonderful art treasures.
