The Maker of Angels is a 1908 oil by Pedro Weingärtner, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Pinacoteca de São Paulo.
This painting is a triptych, divided into three sections. The left section shows a woman in a white dress and a man in a dark suit standing together, looking at something in the distance. The middle section depicts a woman in a black dress sitting at a table, holding a baby. The right section shows a woman in a blue dress standing in a room, looking down at something on the floor. The painting is done in oil paint and features a range of colors, from dark browns and blacks to lighter shades of blue and white. The overall effect is one of warmth and intimacy, with the figures in each section seeming to interact with each other in a quiet, peaceful way. If you're interested in learning more about this style of painting, you might want to look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
Pedro Weingärtner (26 July 1853 – 26 December 1929) was an important Academic painter of Brazil, and the first artist born in Rio Grande do Sul to win international praise for his work.
