10 x 14 framed print of Jules-Adolphe Breton (1827-1906) entitled Song of the Lark. The original painting was completed by the artist in 1884. It is oil on canvas, measures 43 1/2 x 33 3/4 in, and it is part of the museum collection for public view at the Art Institute of Chicago.     Per an article, the much loved and famous painting -- The Story Behind America’s Favorite Painting, Taylor Hunt, July 12, 2023  -- Another beloved American icon to have an encounter with Song of the Lark was actor Bill Murray. Before Murray made it big-time, he was a struggling comedian in Chicago. Money was tight and opportunity felt hard to find. Murray was struggling with suicidal thoughts after a particularly bad performance night. Wandering around the city, he intended to drown himself in Lake Michigan that night. Till he found himself inside the Art Institute of Chicago. Here he came across Song of the Lark.
Looking at the painting renewed his hope and faith in himself.“I thought, ‘Well, there’s a girl who doesn’t have a whole lot of prospects, but the sun’s coming up anyway and she’s got another chance at it,” said Murray. “So I think that gave me some sort of feeling that I, too, am a person, and I get another chance every day the sun comes up.”Murray, in a similar vein to Carther’s character, experienced a renewed sense of artistic purpose, a new sense of hope from his visitation with the work. You can thank this painting for beloved future movies from the comedian such as “Groundhog Day” and “The Royal Tenenbaums.”
