If so > that's what it is called, I have the same picture in My dinning room. > Many of you wrote me to tell me that the picture is actually called "The Angelus" and the original is hanging in the Louvre in Paris, as I said, I remembered that same painting hanging in my Grandmothers house. I did a little research and found that the Angelus is actually a prayer. The picture depicts farm workers stopping during their day to say the prayer. I love the idea and the painting, and being Catholic I can identify with the saying of the Hail Mary, but isn't it interesting that it was hanging in the Taylor living room since we know they were not Catholic, but then I guess that doesn't matter at all. United we stand! God Bless us all!
