Description: This vintage framed print of The Angelus by Jean-François Millet brings to life one of the most celebrated scenes in 19th-century art. Painted between 1857 and 1859, The Angelus depicts two peasants in a field, bowing their heads in prayer as dusk falls. Millet’s work is revered for its tribute to rural life and the quiet dignity of labor, embodying themes of reverence and humility that resonate deeply. This particular print is housed in its original frame and backed with a preserved newspaper page from December 16, 1927. The newspaper backing not only authenticates its vintage status but also situates the piece within a broader historical context, giving it a unique story and charm. For art enthusiasts and collectors, this framed print of The Angelus represents a blend of artistic beauty and historical depth, ideal for adding both sophistication and warmth to any space. Condition: The print is in good vintage condition, with minor wear on the original frame that enhances its antique character. The 1927 newspaper backing is remarkably well-preserved, adding a rare historical touch that collectors will appreciate.
