Renaissance Angel Christmas Cards Pinturicchio

Detail of the Archangel Gabriel from Pinturicchio's fresco of the Annunciation at Santa Maria Maggiore in his native Umbrian town of Spello. The rich Renaissance greens, reds and golds of Gabriel's robes are in vivid contrast to te more muted tones tone of the elaborate architectural details in the background. The traditional lilies held in Gabriel's hand are particularly graceful and finely done. Fully customisable. Change the message and personalise with your printed signature. You may even change the font, colour, size, etc. with the "customise it" feature. In addition, you may remove the background images if you prefer a plain white background. Matching note cards, postage stamps, postcards, stickers and more are available in my gallery's Angels Collection.
