      Rupert Bunny, 1864-1947, was an Australian painter. Born and raised in Melbourne, Victoria, he achieved success and critical acclaim as in fin-de-siècle Paris. He was a "sumptuous colourist and splendidly erudite painter of ideal themes, and the creator of the most ambitious Salon paintings." Here is an example. What were the angels doing?
