Angel guardian is a 1650 oil by Bartolomeo Cavarozzi, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at National Museum of Fine Arts, Argentina.
This painting depicts a guardian angel and a young child. The angel is dressed in a flowing robe with a blue sleeve, while the child wears a dark robe with a white collar. The angel's right arm is raised, and the child's hands are clasped together in prayer. The scene is set against a dark background, with a skull and books visible in the bottom-left corner. A white cloth is draped on the floor to the right of the child. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and contrast, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figures.
Bartolomeo Cavarozzi (1587–1625), occasionally referred to as Bartolomeo Crescenzi, was an Italian caravaggisti painter of the Baroque period.
