What does a piece of quiet, sacred art look like in your own home? This kneeling angel figure brings a peaceful, prayerful moment to any shelf, mantel, or altar space you choose. The angel kneels with wings folded, dressed in flowing robes, holding a shell shape in its hands.
The design is based on Bertel Thorvaldsen's Baptismal Angel, a marble sculpture from 1827-1828 housed at the Church of Our Lady in Copenhagen. The original shape was captured through 3D scanning, keeping the folds of the robe and the detail of the wings true to the source.
This piece works well as a religious keepsake, a gift for a baptism or christening, or a decorative addition to a museum-style collection at home. It is made to order in the USA after you place your order.
