How old is the painting of Guardian Angel protecting children near cliff?

He painted it in 1886. (see below) I translated the following information from some old German book years ago.The joined the religious nature of the images increasingly into the background.Among the iconographic influences include William of Kaulbachs Sterbebild with a motif of the "angel of God" and the dreamy images of the Scotsman John Burr.guardian angel motif had its origins in devotional picture of the Nazarene and was then in the religious salon painting over before the picture of factories was discovered. In contrast to the medieval type of image Seelengeleits.A common form of guardian angel image shows a guardian angel next little girl in a nightdress during the morning and evening prayer before an iron or wooden cot. Such representations, often erotic allusions which were mainly in southern and central countries. The prototype for this picture genre of "praying children" was the painting of The Infant Samuel Joshua Reynolds.Another important form is the Engelgeleit in free landscape.Here again play the "abyss pictures" a big role. They go mostly on Bernhard Plockhorsts guardian angel picture back, 1886 at the Prussian Academy of Arts Berlin. The subject itself is even older and already in the 1830s encountered. Initially, almost exclusively young and images of girls on the rock cave or on a fragile bridge produced, together with a - contrary to all conventions of the Christian iconography - female angel, with its protective hands of the children pretty herausgeputzte couple watches. The thin, bright, light clothing of the depicted children with the reality had little in common. Overall vary only the background, the number of children (one or two) and clothing of Engels. Technical achievements such as rail and car were late and only occasionally displayed.
