Angel 1750 - 1799

Salvatore di Franco's "Angel," a 18th-century sculpture, portrays a celestial being with intricate detail. The angel's wings are delicately carved and painted, while its flowing garments, crafted from fabric and painted wood, evoke a sense of movement. The figure's delicate features and ethereal pose contribute to the piece's overall sense of spirituality and grace. This artwork is an example of Italian Baroque sculpture, known for its dramatic and emotional representations of religious subjects. The sculpture is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
