The church honors the Hosts of Heaven this month at the Feast of St. Michael and All Angels on September 29. In my continuing series on new American prints in the Sacred Art Pilgrim Collection, I'm featuring an angelic image this week by Florida-based Graphic Artist Tyson Clutter, pressed from an inked plastic plate. The kneeling posture of the figure, his bowed head, and the lily in his hand all signal this divine messenger is the Angel Gabriel, come to tell the Virgin Mary she has been chosen to be the mother of the Christ Child, an event recorded in Luke 1: 26-38. The image is taken from the left side of a 15th century half-circular tempera panel of the Annunciation, made by the Italian Renaissance Painter Filippo Lippi for the Medici family palace in Florence. Clutter has truncated the angel's long wing and moved the Hand of God from the center of the original lunette to the upper left corner of the print. This new portrait of the Angel Gabriel can be found in the image gallery of the Tyrus Clutter profile page in the Schools of Sacred Artists section. (John Kohan)
