Detroit Opera House Angel Wall Painting

This is artwork is painted on the lobby walls of the beautiful Detroit Opera House in Detroit, Michigan. In 1922, architect C. Howard Crane toured the great opera houses of Europe and they became the major influence in his design for the Detroit Opera House. Fashioned in the Italian Renaissance style, Crane incorporated all the features that made Detroiters then (and now) feel as though they had taken the trip to Europe without leaving their hometown: large crystal chandeliers, a grand marble staircase, lavish carpeting, walls decorated in elegant murals and original oil paintings. This is an example of the art work that adorns the walls of the opera house.
