On the right side of the book: works of art you would probably pass in a museum without a second thought

On the left side of the book: parsimonious, at times humorous, always educational and thought provoking interpretations of those works of art .. never exceeding a page of interpretation for a page of the work of art

One is thus hard pressed to differentiate one work of art from another. The gestalt is just gorgeous and a real treasure.

In this book, as well as her other books, Sr. Wendy gives us a glimpse into the soul of a contemplative. I use this book for periods of quiet meditation.

Inspiring book! I love the way Sr. Wendy writes prose. She expresses so well what she sees in the art work, and her insights are sublime.

Once again, I am so very pleased with Sister Wendy's delightful selections for this book. I am especially taken by Guercino's "The Woman taken in Adultery"
