Angel 1547

Domenico Beccafumi's "Angel" is a bronze sculpture created in 1547. The sculpture depicts an angel with large wings, holding a candelabrum. The angel's pose and the naturalistic rendering of the wings and the drapery, reflect the artistic trends of the High Renaissance. The sculpture's placement in a cathedral suggests its religious function, possibly representing a celestial messenger. The image of the angel, a powerful symbol of faith and divine protection, is further enhanced by its placement near a marble pillar. This artwork is a testament to Beccafumi's skill as a sculptor and is considered a noteworthy example of Renaissance art.
