🔍 The Fallen Angel (French: L'Ange déchu), Alexandre Cabanel, 1847, (Public Domain)

#Art #ArtHistory #PublicDomain #PaintingOfTheDay #FamousArt
Alexandre Cabanel’s The Fallen Angel (1847) portrays a striking figure of a young man seated on the ground, representing Lucifer after his expulsion from Heaven. His muscular form is draped with a white cloth, and his bare torso gleams under a dramatic light. The angel's head is turned slightly, revealing tear-filled, piercing blue eyes that convey sorrow, defiance, and wounded pride. His golden hair, halo-like in its glow, contrasts with the darker, ominous background. Around him, indistinct forms of other fallen angels can be seen, emphasizing his isolation. Cabanel’s use of detailed anatomy, emotive expression, and a Romantic style captures the tragic beauty and inner conflict of this iconic figure.

🔍 Nighthawks, Edward Hopper, 1942, Art Institute of Chicago

#Art #ArtHistory #PublicDomain #PaintingOfTheDay #FamousArt
Nighthawks, Edward Hopper, 1942, Art Institute of Chicago (Public Domain) Shows a quiet nighttime urban scene, dominated by a brightly lit diner on an empty street corner. Inside the diner, three customers are seated: a man and woman sit together on the right, while a lone man sits apart on the left. A server, dressed in white, stands behind the counter. The diner's large windows and soft interior light contrast sharply with the dark, empty sidewalk and street outside, emphasizing a sense of isolation and urban quiet. Hopper's use of light and shadow creates a cinematic quality, making this painting a hallmark of 20th-century American realism.
