Praying the Rosary with Great Works of Art

I've created a booklet of some of my favorite works of art (10MB PDF) – 21 works of art, spanning 500 years. I tried to make the paintings as large as possible on letter-sized paper. It looks fairly good when printed on a black-and-white laser printer. Also available as a Flickr Set.

Great art like this can be helpful in praying the rosary. All of the mysteries of the rosary are represented in the paintings below.
