About the piece

Painted around 1760 by Johann Lucas Kracker, this work exemplifies the dramatic light and movement of the late Baroque period. An angel and a group of playful putti are shown in various states of prayer and contemplation, gathered around a central, glowing monstrance that anchors the airy, cloud-filled composition.
