One of the many books in the new "Enjoying Great Art" series: In the past, particularly during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, religion was a common theme for paintings.

Enjoy this pictorial look at different aspects of the Christmas story - the angel's proclamation to Mary, Mary and Elizabeth, the shepherds, and the Wise Men - as you've likely never seen them before.
