Michelangelo Madonna and Child Christmas Card
Michelangelo
Madonna and Child
with St John the Baptist and Angels
about 1497. Detail.
Unfinished ...
Known intention was to paint
the Virgin's robes Lapis Lazuli Blue.
I colourized Her robe blue.
I also, here, made Mary's colouring
more like the finished angels.
I think that I did both these things rather well.
I hope Michelangelo would agree.
Angels read the scroll Ecce Agnus Dei
(Behold the Lamb of God)
associated with St John the Baptist.
Mary holds the book away from Christ
as it was the prophecy in Isaiah 53
of Christ's future sacrifice and His taking
unto Himself the evil of the World.
A wonderful work sadly unfinished.
Detail. This shows off my computer colourization of the robe Black and White undercoat to its intended Lapis Lazuli over coat and my computer enhancement from the grey tones undercoat of Mary's face to the more intended finished look. I think Michelangelo would be proud.

Folded Greeting Card, Size: Big, 21.6 cm x 28 cm, Paper: Signature Matte, Envelopes: White
I saw this card on your website and it bowled me over as I never thought such a beautiful card could exist. It’s unusual and very large. The quality of the card and envelope are amazing. My friend, who is an absolute dog lover, will be amazed when he receives his Christmas card. It will give a big smile from ear-to-ear. In fact, I’m going to send the card earlier than usual because I can’t wait for his reaction because he’s a biker too! Thank you, Zazzle!

As a first time user of Zazzle I was unsure what to expect but I was delighted with the design and quality of the product. It was as I had expected but the quality exceeded expectations

It's nice that I can create my own, personalised, messaging inside such cards.
