Location and History

The Angelus is currently housed in the prestigious Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France. The painting depicts two peasants bowing in a field over a basket of potatoes to say a prayer, the Angelus, that together with the ringing of the bell from the church on the horizon marks the end of a day's work.

The Angelus was commissioned by Thomas Gold Appleton but never collected. It was originally titled "Prayer for the Potato Crop," but Millet changed it to its current title after Appleton failed to collect it. The church in the distance was added later, further emphasizing the religious theme of the painting.
