Angel (one of a pair) 1685 - 1715

Hendrik-Frans Verbruggen's "Angel (one of a pair)" is a Baroque sculpture depicting a winged angel in mid-flight, its body contorted in dynamic movement. The detailed rendering of the angel's anatomy and the flowing drapery emphasize the Baroque style's focus on dramatic realism and theatricality. This bronze sculpture, which was likely part of a larger decorative ensemble, is a testament to Verbruggen's mastery of the medium and his ability to capture the energy and dynamism of celestial beings.
