EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Thomas Waldo Story's "Fallen Angel" sculpture, created in 1889. The stone and marble masterpiece is displayed at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. In this image, we witness a poignant scene of mourning and sorrow. The central figure is an angel, delicately carved with intricate details that bring it to life. With wings outstretched and head bowed low, the angel embodies a sense of grief and loss. Standing beside the angel is a woman dressed in mourning attire, her face etched with sadness as she gazes upon the fallen figure before her. The composition also features a male figure standing nearby, his coat of arms proudly displayed on his chest. This juxtaposition between youth and death adds layers of complexity to the narrative portrayed within this artwork. As our eyes wander across the photograph, we are drawn to every nuance captured by Bridgeman Images' lens - from the nakedness of both figures to their vulnerable poses atop a sturdy plinth. It is through these elements that Story explores themes of mortality and vulnerability. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our own mortality while evoking emotions such as sorrow and contemplation within us all.
