Friday Featured Art: An Angel

While at the Milwaukee Art Museum, we noticed a painting that we did not remember seeing when we were there before (7 years ago). It's called An Angel and is, of course, by Abbott Handerson Thayer. Beautiful.

One of the artists that I discovered in high school and later as we went to the Smithsonian is Abbott Handerson Thayer. I really like his "ideal figures." Later when I went to the Art Institute of Chicago with Tony, we found this Winged Figure in one of the lower-level galleries. The painting is huge and the colors are fantastic. It's so beautiful and serene. I suppose this is what it's like to "sleep in heavenly peace."
