Description

Each of the missions established in California by Spain (and one by Mexico) had an image of its patron saint. Beautiful color photographs depict theses images, some as seen in their original setting, others in contemporary paintings and sculpture. Norman Neuerburg, an art historian and life-long student of California art, discusses the historical and artistic background of each one. - from Amzon
