Mother Mary, the Queen of Angels, is presenting her newborn son as the iconic angels and archangels admire and praise the baby Jesus; he is nude indicating he is human with his arms open wide to embrace all humanity. The virgin Mary is wearing black foreshadowing her grief and the nine white stars about her head signify divine interference. French artist Bouguereau, was considered an academic and traditionalist with modern interpretations of classical and mythological subjects. As a teacher, frescoesist and draftsman, Bouguereau opened art to women and held coed classes. Popular with Victorian patrons in France and the United States, few could match Bouguereau’s realistic figures touched with idealism. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand exclusively for Design Toscano. Our replica 4.375" wide, European style, bright gold-toned, ribbed frame is cast in quality designer resin with an acanthus leaf and floret border that draws the eye toward the beautiful image.

Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported molding.
