This card is meant for celebrating Christmas or offering spiritual encouragement. A lone angel surges forward through a wash of midnight blue, radiant with divine urgency. Painted in the early 14th century, the figure’s flowing robes and gilded halo speak to faith’s enduring promise. The gesture is both reaching and receiving - a visual prayer in motion.
This painting is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Bequest of Edward Fowles, 1971.
