This beautiful print from a painting by Adolphe-William Bouguereau is of the Blessed Virgin Mary and baby Jesus being serenaded by a trio of angels. This peaceful scene will be a welcome addition to any room as it provides a lovely background of the baby Jesus sleeping serenely in Virgin Mary's arms.
Generally regarded as one of Bouguereau’s finest masterpieces ”Song of the Angels” is certainly one of his trickiest paintings to reproduce with accuracy. First test for any reproduction artist is to capture the exact form and detail of the subjects, then the painting must be performed in the famous ”licked” surface technique that Bouguereau was so completely the master of and famed throughout the art world of the mid nineteenth century for. This technique is not easily emulated today because it not only takes skill and experience to perform but also requires that most valuable commodity in this bustling age of non stop frenetiicism, that being the element of “time” . As it must be coming apparent to anyone on this site who has looked at more than one of our Bouguereau reproductions, Vasallo is the master of the techniques requierd to perform perfect Bouguereau reproductions of the standard that you see here before you. in “Song of the Angels” |
