Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Angels of Savonarola Upon the walls of many glorious churches and splendid palaces in the beautiful city of Florence are painted angel faces, outlined there hundreds of years ago by the hands of skillful and tenderhearted masters. The saintly Fra Angelico, the sympathetic Botticelli drew some of these angels and breathed into them a holiness and a purity which later artists have been unable to equal. Yet it is not of these that I want to tell you, but of a real human being - an Italian boy - who lived in Florence four hundred years ago, and who, because he gave much of help and comfort to a great soul that suffered there for the sin and shame of the city, was not unfitly called by him one of his "angels," being indeed a little ministering spirit who brought succor and solace in a time of dire distress to one of God´s truest servants. During the last decade of the fifteenth century that fair City of Flowers, full of riches and learning, crowded with stately buildings and dowered with wonderful art treasures, had nevertheless come to a sad period in her history.
