The Fallen Angel - L'Ange déchu (1847) by Alexandre Cabanel

Depicting an angel exiled to Earth by God, the canvas depicts the face of Lucifer in pain (hands crossed, tears).

A romantic work, the figure of Evil is painted there like a Greek hero with a perfect body and a very expressive gaze, mixing rage and defiance towards the one who banished him. Its wings darken at the tips, as if rotting before falling. We can compare the character of the painting to Lucifer who was considered the most beautiful angel in paradise but was driven out after betraying God. Following this event, some began to call him The King of the Underworld.

SET TWO - ROUND ONE - MATCH EIGHT

“Stress” (2004 - Yoan Capote) / “The Fallen Angel” (1847 - Alexandre Cabanel)

STRESS: When I first saw pictures of the full sculpture, I didn't think much of it until I saw the close up and realized it had teeth. Then the title made sense. Grinning and bearing or gritting my teeth while trying to get through difficult times is a very familiar feeling. Plus when I think about how there are technically brittle teeth made of bronze between the concrete slabs and how in time concrete (the stress) will probably break the teeth or wear them out due to the stress. I don't know. I just think this is a very poignant sculpture in that regard. (kadunud)

THE FALLEN ANGEL: The Fallen Angel by Alexandre Cabanel is another favorite i've considered getting it tattooed on me at some point. something about the expression even though its just eyes. the look of betrayal. Idk shit abt christianity but i think this guy was kicked out of heaven. Idk it makes me feel things i want to scream. I understand how you feel lucifer. I really don't but looking at his eyes makes me feel like i feel all of it at once for a brief moment (firebuug)

("Stress" is a concrete and bronze installation done by Cuban artist Yoan Capote. It's 250 x 60 x 60 cm (98.4 x 23.6 x 23.6 in) and is currently being held in a private collection.

"The Fallen Angel" is an oil on canvas painting done by French artist Alexandre Cabanel. It measures 120.50 cm × 196.50 cm (47.4 x 77.4 in) and can be found at the Musée Fabre in Montpelier.)

THE SANDMAN | 1.01 – “Sleep of The Just”

+

A winged nude shields his face behind flexed arms. His mane of hair snaps in the wind, and brows curl over red-rimmed eyes and a tear of anger. His body, of course, is perfect. His posture appears reposed, but each muscle is flexed with potential energy. Cast from heaven— this is the moment before he rises again.

Cabanel, Alexandre. Fallen Angel. 1847, Musée Fabre, Montpellier.
