Description from the seller
The Ecstasy of the Fallen Angel – White-Patinated Terracotta Sculpture – 20th Century
An evocative terracotta sculpture with a white patina, dating from the 20th century, depicting a fallen angel caught in a moment of profound ecstasy.
The work explores the theme of the angelic fall through a highly expressive representation, in which the spiritual dimension intertwines with the vulnerability of the human condition.
Ecstasy becomes a moment suspended between surrender and revelation, suffering and transcendence. The angel appears not merely as a creature deprived of its celestial nature, but as a symbol of wounded beauty that, despite its fall, retains its aspiration to the absolute.
The white patina, suggestive of ancient marble, lends the terracotta a particular luminosity, enhancing its sculptural qualities and intensifying the poetic tension of the subject.
A work rich in symbolic resonance, in which the tradition of figurative sculpture meets a deeply modern expressive sensibility.
Material: White-patinated terracotta
Period: 20th century
Subject: Ecstasy of the fallen angel
Technique: Sculptural modeling with a patinated finish
A fall is not always the end of flight. Sometimes it is the beginning of awareness.
