The Fallen Angel (French: L'ange déchu) is a painting by the French artist Alexandre Cabanel. It was painted in 1847, and is now in the Musée Fabre in Montpellier.
Background and Description[edit]
The Fallen Angel is a painting picturing Lucifer as the subject, in a Christian view,[1] posed in a reclined position, yet his body appears tense and flexed,[2] picturing Lucifer nude, covering part of his face, resulting in the only expression visible being through his eyes, which features a single larger-shaped tear on each eye, picturing Lucifer as a relatable and sympathetic figure.[2] The Fallen Angel was one of the first paintings to depict the Devil or Satan as the subject matter, and sources report that the jurists were “shocked” when they saw it.[3][4]
