"The Angel Guardian" (French: "L'Ange Gardien") is a painting by the French academic artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, completed in 1881. Bouguereau, renowned for his traditionalist style, was a dominant figure in French academic painting during the second half of the 19th century. His works typically reflect a blend of classical and mythological subjects, with an emphasis on the human figure and a polished finish that exemplifies the academic aesthetic.

The painting depicts a serene and protective guardian angel guiding a pair of young children. The angel is shown with outstretched wings, enveloping the children in a protective embrace as they traverse a precarious landscape. The children, oblivious to potential dangers, exhibit a sense of innocence and trust under the watchful eye of their celestial guardian. The angel's tranquil gaze and the gentle touch upon the children's shoulders convey a sense of calm and assurance.

Bouguereau's meticulous technique and use of soft, ethereal lighting imbue the work with a sense of divinity and grace, characteristics that are emblematic of his approach to religious and allegorical subjects. "The Angel Guardian" is a testament to Bouguereau's mastery of form and his ability to evoke emotional resonance through his art. The painting is an example of the 19th-century academic art movement's dedication to beauty, technical skill, and narrative clarity.

As with many of Bouguereau's paintings, "The Angel Guardian" was well-received in its time for its technical proficiency and its comforting, idealized portrayal of spiritual protection. The work remains a significant example of Bouguereau's artistry and continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its representation of guardian angels in the canon of Western art.
