Summary

Fra Angelico's magnificent painting of the Annunciation to the Virgin can be seen today at the San Marco Museum in Florence, Italy. A beautiful reproduction of the memorable Italian Renaissance painting is presented and described in this attractive miniature book, which does double duty as a framed picture! The front cover shows the painting in a faithful, miniaturized full-color reproduction, and the book's extra-sturdy slipcase is designed so it can be used as a picture frame. The slipcase can be stood up on a desk or tabletop with a pull-out tab, to present a framed picture. A second tab serves for those who prefer to use theirMiniature Art Bookas a wall hanging. But taken out of its slipcase, the book features 21 pages of color-illustrated text on glossy, card stock. The artist's life and work is discussed with attention to significant features in the title painting. The book's last two pages present a capsule timeline biography of the artist and his works.
