This German woman from the 1930s supposedly predicted Hitler’s fall. I imagine she wasn’t too popular among the Nazis.

Angels Praying from the Magi

Here’s a cool label for Christmas. I’ve included the original with the music and if you want to insert your own text then the blank one is more suitable.

This is a detail from the ‘Adoration of the Magi” painted by Ghirlandaio in 1488 residing in the Foundling Hospital, Florence.
