Angel 18th century

This 18th-century sculpture of an angel, created by Lorenzo Mosca, is a striking example of Baroque religious art. The angel is depicted in a dynamic pose, with flowing robes and outstretched wings, conveying a sense of celestial movement. The intricate details, like the delicately painted wings and the flowing fabric, highlight Mosca's mastery of carving and painting. The angel’s delicate features and gentle expression evoke a sense of spirituality and serenity. This sculpture, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, showcases Mosca's talent and the enduring power of Baroque religious imagery.
