ART William Bouguerreau: "Song of the Angels"- Glendale, CA - Forest Lawn Chapel:  William-Adolphe Bouguereau (30 November 1825 – 19 August 1905) was a French academic painter. In his realistic genre paintings he used mythological themes, making modern interpretations of classical subjects, with an emphasis on the female human body.  During his life, he enjoyed significant popularity in France and the United States, was given numerous official honors, and received top prices for his work.  As the quintessential salon painter of his generation, he was reviled by the Impressionist avant-garde.  By the early twentieth century, Bouguereau and his art fell out of favor with the public, due in part to changing tastes.  In the 1980s, a revival of interest in figure painting led to a rediscovery of Bouguereau and his work. Throughout the course of his life, Bouguereau executed 822 known finished paintings, although the whereabouts of many are still unknown. The Virgin with Angels (French: La Vierge aux anges), also known as The Song of the Angels is an oil painting by the French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau. Its dimensions are 213.4 × 152.4 cm.  Angels playing lute and violin.  It is now exhibited at the Forest Lawn Museum in Glendale, California, having hung in the Church of the Recessional in the Chapel of the Angeles.  The card is in good condition.   No. S195.
