Archangel Gabriel –8.5x11" based on a Vintage Stained Glass Window – Art Nouveau – Catholic Art Print – Archival Quality

This is one of our favorite representations of the Archangel Gabriel, a stained glass window made in 1915 by Powell & Sons for St. John’s Church in Wiltshire, England. It is an Art Nouveau piece, towards the end of the Art Nouveau movement, an art style we especially love. Art Nouveau was a beautiful blending of high art and folk art, featuring the elegant arrangement of organic forms. We love the lush, casual beauty of Gabriel here, his nonchalance, his towering stature! We suspect he has all the color in this picture because he is from Heaven, while the Earth is a practical dull beige in comparison. The scroll says Ave Maria because Gabriel brought the Annunciation to Mary. He holds the Easter Lily because the Annunciation brought the Christ into this world.
