Val van de engelen 1650 - 1750

"Val van de engelen" (Fall of the Angels) is a 17th or 18th-century drawing by an unknown artist. The drawing depicts a chaotic scene of fallen angels, their bodies intertwined in a dizzying spiral. This dynamic composition is reminiscent of the work of Michelangelo, especially his depiction of the Last Judgement in the Sistine Chapel. The expressive lines and anatomical detail convey the drama and turmoil of the fall, making it a powerful and haunting image. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, the drawing measures 448 mm in height and 579 mm in width.
