About This Design

The Angelus Postcard

The Angelus Postcard

This masterpiece is one of many portrayals of rural life by Jean-Francois Millet, a founder of the Barbizon School of Painting and a son of farmers. He was noted for his scenes of peasant farmers, which conservative art critics disdained. He holds a prominent place among the painters of social realism. His works have a melancholy quality and this artist may have been inspired by his love of Latin bucolic poetry, especially Virgil's Georgics. This painting depicts a scene in which a man and woman have stopped digging potatoes to recite the Angelus, the prayer which commemorates the Anunciation made to Mary by the Angel Gabriel. The artist commented that the scene was a childhood memory of his grandmother's habit. The artist died in Paris in 1875 at the age of sixty years.

Bought 10 Shakespeare quotes postcards and have framed them individually and placed them around the house Love them, some are funny and some are deep and meaningful! Lovely background on some, excellent printed words. A couple of plain white cards with black print - very stricking

My order was probably an awkward one! I asked for a range of different fine-art prints, in postcard size. It was all freshly printed, delivered quickly and at a very reasonable price. Best quality matt finish I've seen on a fine-art print.

These cards are great quality, I use them as enclosure cards for my business! Hey are a little pricey but you definitely get the quality and professionalism! Repurchased a few times now and will continue to do so :). Beautiful, nice sheen on them, sharp and clear
