Great Book

This is a beautiful book and very interesting view of the Missions... It is wonderful if you are interested in California Missions.

A remarkable and unique contribution to western art history.

Father Tupa's paintings provide a unique view of the missions and chart the physical and spiritual pilgrimage to the California missions. His works are presented here with over twenty oil paintings and over 40 watercolors interpreting California's past and the history of each mission. An Uncommon Mission accompanies a traveling exhibition of the same name.
