Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

The Annunciation, by Arthur Joseph Gaskin

Gaskin, an Englishman, studied at the Birmingham School of Art. He had not even completed the program when he joined the faculty, later marrying one of his students. He was affiliated with the Arts and Crafts movement, applying its principles to his special work in jewelry, a specialization that shows in the jewel tones of this Annunciation.
