boy oh boy.... try to find anything on that beautiful picture. The consensus on the Internet is that the original artist is unknown. The painting mostly appears under the German title "Heilige Schutzengel" (Guardian Angel) making me think the original came from Germany or Switzerland? It's been reprinted thousands of time..... some resources say the original artist is: Lindberg but I think that is the printing company and not the name of the artist. paulette in sw fla usa..... oh a surfing I will go.... xoxoxoxoxo -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: MindaTamsyn33@wmconnect.com > I was interested in talking about that painting you mentioned - about the two > children walking over the old ramshackled bridge and the Angel watching over > them.
