The Angelus by Jean-François Millet

A classic throughout the Catholic world, The Angelus by Jean-François Millet is an oil on canvas created between 1857 and 1859.

The focus of this painting is on two farmers, heads bowed in prayer. The work is dark, with a bright sunrise. A small church spire as in the distance. The church bells ring at 6 A.M. for the morning Angelus, and this scene plays out on every farm for miles around. They join together in communal prayer, remembering the words of the angel Gabriel and meditating on the incarnation, during a brief respite from their grueling work.
