Description from the seller
The Ecstasy of the Fallen Angel – White-patinated terracotta sculpture – 20th century
Suggestive terracotta sculpture with white patination, dating from the 20th century, depicting a fallen angel seized in a moment of deep ecstasy.
The work confronts the theme of angelic fall through a portrayal of intense expressivity, in which the spiritual dimension intertwines with the vulnerability of the human condition.
Ecstasy becomes the suspended moment between surrender and revelation, between suffering and transcendence. The angel is not merely a creature deprived of its heavenly dimension, but a symbol of wounded beauty that, despite the fall, retains its longing for the absolute.
The white patination, evocative of ancient marble, gives the terracotta a particular luminosity, enhancing its plastic quality and intensifying the poetic tension of the subject.
A work of strong symbolic suggestion, in which the tradition of figurative sculpture meets a deeply modern expressive sensitivity.
Material: White-patinated terracotta
Era: 20th century
Subject: Ecstasy of the fallen angel
Technique: Plastic modeling with patinated finish
The fall is not always the end of flight. Sometimes it is the beginning of awareness.
