    A 17th Century Angel in Carved Wood
    This sculpture of a 17th-century angel is made of wood, a common practice at the time for religious art intended to decorate churches and altars. Angels were frequently sculpted standing or in an attitude of graceful movement.
    The angel stands in a dynamic posture, with the drapery of the mantle accompanying the movement. The hand is placed expressively in front of the bust. The loose-fitting garment with its well-defined folds emphasizes the angel's dynamism and contributes to the impression of lightness typical of the period. The long, wavy hair is carefully detailed.
    Traces of white color indicate that the statue was once painted, as was the custom for religious sculptures of the 17th century.
    The wings are missing, but the places where they were attached can be seen on the back, which was common when statues came from altars or altarpieces. Such statues were intended to decorate churches or chapels.
    The angels embodied divine protection. The angel's contemplative posture evokes devotion and accompanies the faithful towards contemplation.
    This sculpture is a fine example of 17th-century Baroque religious art.
