This is Madonna of the Red Angels (1400's), an oil by Giovanni Bellini. (not of the bellini drink fame) It is at the Galleria del Accademia in Venice. I was moved by the unique use of color.
and the fact that there are 6 red angels.Happy Hunting Y'all!

BEAUTIFUL! I love your take on this weeks theme!
LOVE IT!!!
Oh I'm so glad you got to go to the Accademia when you were in Venice. I love that painting and those sweet little angels. :)
a great find for today's theme.
I agree the colors are vivid and my first time to see red angels I used to see white ones. Happy Sunday!

Awesome pic for the theme - those red putti (I agree about the unusual colouring) would be great with your fancy red shoes.
I so love this today too...thanks for sharing. xoxoxo
Gorgeous painting, Sandi. The museums in Italy are all filled with treasures.
This is really a unique painting--red angels--never seen anything like that!
