"Angel Fair" is a 1500 woodcut by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. The artwork depicts a scene of angels and demons fighting over a scroll. The angels, with their feathered wings and noble bearing, are depicted as pious and righteous, while the demons, with their grotesque appearances and contorted figures, are portrayed as evil and chaotic. This dramatic composition reflects the struggle between good and evil, a common theme in Dürer's work. The intricate details and masterful use of light and shadow contribute to the overall impact of the image. The artwork's powerful message and impressive technique have made it a significant work in Dürer's oeuvre and a testament to his artistic genius.
