Review: Though this book contains a good few interesting snippets of information, the organisation of the into sections seems confused and repetitive. We are given the same information (about flinging the windows open to rush out the old year before letting in the new, for example) over and over again. We are also introduced to the same notions and characters (historical and fictional) repeatedly, but often the first explanation is glossed over and then revisited with some actual context only some time later. The writing also seems a little amateurish in places: ‘and we can only guess what the ‘early Christians/Royal Family/old gods would think of that!’ appears to end most observations. Perhaps a book to pick up and flick to a random page of, but read linearly, on Kindle, it’s not quite working.

    Description: A star, a stable, angels, shepherds, kings, and at the heart of it all a mother and her baby. In The Art of Christmas Jane Williams' meditations on the birth of Jesus take you deep into the story of the original Christmas as depicted in some of the world's greatest paintings. A beautiful book for Advent 2021, these profoundly perceptive reflections on the different ways in which artists have imagined the Nativity will deepen and refresh your appreciation of the real meaning of Christmas, and the message of love, joy and peace that it speaks to all the world. Illustrated in stunning full colour, with famous and lesser-known Western masterpieces, and presented in a small, easily portable format, The Art of Christmas is ideal Advent reading for all art lovers, but also makes a wonderful Christmas gift. Jane Williams' insightful meditations will not only help you rediscover the spiritual heart of Christmas, but will also give you a deeper, expanded appreciation of the skill and mastery behind these masterful paintings. You'll gain a fuller and more spiritual understanding of Christian art, and see Christmas as never before.
