Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image
Nicholas Poussin's 1627 (or 1641?) Annunciation has been surpassed in the Internet Imagination by his 1657 work (in fact, it was a challenge to track this image down!), but it has its own classic loveliness. (Come back next week to see a later image based on this one.) The original is in the Condé Museum in the château de Chantilly.

About the Angelus Project
We rightly admire Muslim neighbors and co-workers who put everything on hold five times a day in answer to the "call to prayer." But Christians have a call to prayer, too! It is the Angelus. Morning, noon and evening we are invited to pause and reaffirm our faith in the Incarnation: The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us (Jn. 1:14), because "God so loved the world that he sent his only Son" (Jn. 3:16).
