The Flayed Angel, c. 1745
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the artistic brilliance of Gautier d'Agoty and Jacques-Fabien Gautier D'Agoty. This varnished colour mezzotint depicts an ethereal female figure, known as L'Ange Anatomique or The Flayed Angel. The composition captures the attention with its intricate decorative technique and stunning use of color. The angel's back view reveals her aversion, as she looks away from the viewer, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue. Her red jacket adds a vibrant pop of color against the backdrop of an outdoor setting. This mid-eighteenth-century artwork transports us to a fictional world where angels coexist with humans. The detailed rendering of the angel's flayed skin highlights both the artist's technical skill and their ability to evoke emotions through visual storytelling. As we delve into this piece, we are reminded of its literary origins in Joseph Guichard Duverney's "Myologie complete en couleur et grandeur naturelle". It is fascinating to see how literature inspires art, as this print brings Duverney's words to life. "The Flayed Angel" invites us to contemplate themes such as religion, spirituality, and human existence. Through its masterful execution and thought-provoking subject matter, this print continues to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed since its creation. (Photo credit: Bridgeman Images)
