L'ange déchu (close-up)

[madwickedawesome]

anyways wanna hear gen info abt alexandre cabanel my favie artist in the whole wide world (he is dead) well too bad ur gonna hear abt him!!!! (specifically his mini war with the church)(i am writing this from memory i am so sorry if i butcher any facts)

his work is generally that of the 'academic' art style bc at 16 or 17 (i dont rember which) he started art school and trained under this dude named picot who was another famous painter at the time :] there he learned academic style and made his way making a variety of religious paintings to appease the church....... cabanel later became a professor there and taught some other famous artists like pierre auguste cot (my second fav artist) and henri regnault!!!!!!

cabanel is probably most famous nowadays for his painting the fallen angel [l'ange déchu] which is below!!!!! it depicts lucifer upon falling from heaven looking heartbroken and enraged while the rest of the angels in heaven rejoice over his exile

i personally adore this piece!!! a lot!!!!!!!! but anyways this painting ^ got him into suuuuper hot water bc at the time, everyone was very strict abt catholicism and it was not epic to be painting lucifer in a sympathetic way!!! he went from pretty accepted in the art world to everyone hating him and he did not like that!!!!!!!

as a result, cabanel bounced back by painting the death of moses 3 years later to enforce his loyalty to the church and religious painting LMFAO. here it is below!!! it is also a very famous piece of his!!!!!!!!

after this he was accepted For The Most Part in the pretentious french art community :3 and i love his works very much however he drew mostly naked women so ur gonna have to look them up urself HSAHABAHJHSDGKJA heres 2 non naked favs tho :D

ophelia, 1883 (wow hamlet reference)
