Some of my favorites:
#53 Fra Angelico, who was called the poet of painters for his deep spiritual expression, the ethereal use of light and color, the soft quality of his art.
#55 Decamps
#62 Rubens
#65 Caravaggio. This is exceptional. It was created on a Flanders canvas at the time used to make tablecloths. Very moving Mary’s head resting on baby Jesus. The angel is playing a motet in honor of Mary: “Quam pulchra es et quam decora...” (Beautiful and graceful)

[Hebrews 11:6]

I enjoyed Fra Angelico’s also—although his trees got a chuckle from me.

But Caravaggio’s really grabbed me. The very idea of Joseph holding sheet music for a violin-playing angel is as creative as anything I’ve ever seen. First-tier.
