About the piece
Painted in 1881 by William-Adolphe Bouguereau, this iconic work captures a moment of divine peace as three angels serenade the sleeping Christ Child. The artist's signature mastery of form and light is evident in the delicate skin tones and the rich blue of the Virgin's robes, which glow brilliantly against the atmospheric woodland background.
