Angel 1760

Johann Georg Pinzel, a prominent Austrian sculptor of the Rococo period, is known for his expressive and dramatic religious figures. This highly detailed, polychromed wood sculpture of an angel, dating to 1760, exemplifies Pinzel's style, characterized by emotional intensity and a dynamic, almost theatrical quality. The angel's dramatic pose, with its swirling drapery and agonized expression, evokes a sense of divine intervention and spiritual fervor, typical of Baroque and Rococo religious art.
