An angel is a messenger of god and a protector of life. This angel lifts a man over her shoulders and takes him to safety. Her grand wings span behind her as she runs to safety. He is lifeless on her shoulders and his head flops to the side. 100% bronze and handmade, this brown patina sculpture was cast using the "Lost Wax Method" and mounted on a marble base. It features the signature A. Moreau. Auguste Moreau (1834 to 1917) was born in the early 19th century and studied under Mathurin Moreau. Auguste Moreau worked as a sculptor and specialized in figures, statuettes and groups, mainly in marble. He made his debut at the 1861 Salon in Paris and continued to play an active part in the Salon des Artistes Francais as a member of the Societe des Artistes Francais until 1910.
