Dear Knowledgeable Ones,
An MFA student has asked for information about
Lindberg (no other name available) Heilige Schutzengel (guardian
angel.) There seem to be at least three variants of the sentimental
image, which feature a blond female angel keeping children, dressed in
folkloric German peasant costumes, from harm: from falling through a
broken plank on a rickety bridge or falling off a cliff. I have no
resources that might help her. (Our Thieme Becker and Benezit are in
storage during a prolonged renovation project.) I checked Oxford Art
Online, Art Index, Art Index Retrospective, BHA, Historical Abstracts,
Soc Index and so on. Can anyone help?
Thanks.
