Angel 1750 - 1799

Giuseppe Gori's "Angel," created between 1750 and 1799, is a striking example of 18th-century Italian sculpture. The delicate figure, crafted with painted wood and fabric, depicts an angel with wings, floating gracefully. The flowing robes and a dramatic yellow sash create a dynamic sense of movement, while the angel's gentle expression adds a touch of serenity to the piece. Now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, "Angel" is a testament to Gori's mastery of both realistic form and expressive detail.
