The Angels of Sodom 1890

Gustave Moreau's "The Angels of Sodom" (1890) depicts a scene from the biblical story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The painting features two angels, their forms hazy and indistinct, ascending to the heavens, leaving behind a desolate landscape. Moreau's signature style, characterized by rich colors and symbolic imagery, emphasizes the tragic beauty of the scene. "The Angels of Sodom" is a work of Symbolism and can be viewed at the Musée National Gustave Moreau in Paris, France.
