Dear Ted:

This is kind of you.  I'm afraid that, other than a description of the
work, the rest is hazy rememberance and, as I said, reminds me of queries
that begin "I'd like to see that green book about the history of England."

I'm trying to find at least the artist's name and title of a painting
(although I'd appreciate any information people can come up with) that was
shown at the Los Angeles County Art Museum in a show sometime in the 70s.
The exhibition *may* have been one that consisted of works from the
Hermitage Museum.

The painting shows an weeping angel holding the dead Christ.  What struck
me was the contrast the artist created between a very "dead-looking" body
(pale, flacid, falling out of the angel's arms) and the very live angel
(vibrant) with a sheen of tears on its cheeks.  My recollection is that the
painting is not small (4' tall, maybe?)

I am *not* an art historian, just someone who enjoys art, so when I say
that I associate the style of painting with the Italian Rennaissance,
please realize I'm no expert!

Thanks for your help,
