Description
AMOR CARITAS (angel of Charity) is the angel statue created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Amor Caritas has upward-curving wings, a gently inclined head, and a belt and crown of passion flowers. The figure made its first appearance in 1880 in three elegantly robed angels for the tomb of Edwin D. Morgan in Hartford, Connecticut and went on to be replicated several more times by the artist. This version of Amor Caritas is located in Cornish, NH on the Augustus Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site.
With a nod of respect towards those artists that lived and worked in New Hampshire, the scene depicted in my piece �Amor Caritas� is of the Atrium at the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site in Cornish. The atrium is the setting of Augustus Saint-Gaudens� relief of the same name. Its simple columns, pool and garden opening to the natural landscape beyond it create a scene reminiscent of the works of Maxfield Parrish, and serve as an example of how the beauty found in nature can be equaled by man through design and placement providing the underlying inspiration for this piece.
The original painting is an 18"x24" oil painting on canvas board, comes framed in a 3 1/2" gold traditional frame. Painting is signed on the front at the bottom left and the title, size and medium are printed on the back of the work. Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist included.
