EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Thomas Waldo Story's "Fallen Angel, 1889". The sculpture, made from stone and marble, stands tall at 93x183.8x61 cm in the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. The image portrays a poignant scene of mourning and sorrow. A female figure is seen kneeling beside a fallen man who lies on a plinth. Both figures are nude, emphasizing their vulnerability and exposing their raw emotions. The angelic presence of an ethereal being hovers above them, symbolizing death and guiding the departed soul to its final resting place. The composition exudes a sense of youthfulness lost too soon as the couple grieves for what could have been. Shields adorn the base of the sculpture, representing protection that was unable to prevent tragedy from striking. In this powerful artwork by Story, we witness not only physical nakedness but also emotional nakedness - baring one's grief for all to see. It serves as a reminder that even angels can fall from grace and experience profound loss. This print beautifully captures every intricate detail of this masterful sculpture while evoking deep emotions within viewers' hearts. It is a testament to both human fragility and resilience in times of great sorrow.
