As new condition bright red cloth boards with gold front and rear board decorations, front and rear cover pastedowns and bright gold spine lettering. Includes decorated front and rear endpapers and illustrated with works of art from the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is interesting to note that artists of the period often portrayed members of the Holy Family and other important biblical figures in European dress of the time. This helped make their works of art immediately accessible to contemporary audiences. Unpaginated.

Gathered here are medieval and Renaissance paintings from the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
