Angel 1760

"Angel" is a 1760 wood sculpture by Austrian artist Johann Georg Pinzel, known for his expressive, often dramatic Rococo style. The sculpture features a winged angel, its body contorted and draped in flowing, gold-leafed fabric, creating a dynamic and almost theatrical pose. The work showcases Pinzel's mastery of carving and the Rococo movement's emphasis on ornate and dramatic details. It is a prime example of how Rococo sculptures captured a sense of movement and theatricality, employing exaggerated gestures and flowing lines to create a powerful emotional impact on viewers.
