Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image
Émile Bernard was part of that generation of artists that included Gauguin, Van Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec, and Bernard knew them all and worked alongside them. Unfortunately, the images available online are not of very high quality. (I'm still trying to figure out what that is that Bernard's Mary is holding onto; usually the outdoor Annunciations are at a well.)

Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image
This striking image was created by a woman with a striking story. Eileen Welch was published at times as "a Benedictine of Stanbrook" (the abbey where she lived as a nun from 1915 to her death in 1990) and at other times by her professed name "Dame Werberg Welch." The Wikipedia entry gives a hint of Dame Werberg Welch's fascinating story and her influence on 20th century liturgical art, which you can gather just from her Annunciation.

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).
