Angel 18th century

Lorenzo Mosca's 18th-century "Angel" is a life-size wooden sculpture of an angel with intricately painted wings and flowing fabric drapery. The angel is depicted in motion, holding a silver bottle and a string, creating a sense of dynamism and celestial grace. Mosca, a prolific Italian sculptor, specialized in creating such religious figures, which were popular during the Baroque era. This artwork is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
