EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Thomas Waldo Story's "Fallen Angel" sculpture, created in 1889. The stone and marble masterpiece stands tall at 93x183.8x61 cm within the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. The image portrays a solemn female figure mourning over a fallen man, who is delicately cradled by an angelic being. The intricate details of the sculpture are beautifully highlighted through the monochromatic tones, emphasizing the raw emotions conveyed by each character. The fallen man lies on a plinth adorned with shields, symbolizing his bravery or perhaps hinting at his tragic demise. The nakedness of both figures adds vulnerability to their sorrowful expressions, evoking a sense of profound loss and human fragility. In this poignant scene, youth meets death as the angel tenderly guides the departed soul towards its final journey. Their intertwined bodies create an intimate connection between life and afterlife – a powerful reminder that even in death, love endures. Through this photograph from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we are invited to contemplate themes of mortality and grief while appreciating Story's exceptional craftsmanship. It serves as a timeless testament to our shared human experience – one filled with joyous moments but also marked by inevitable farewells.
