The Evening Angel is an 1848 religious painting by the French academic painter Alexandre Cabanel․ The work serves as an idealized‚ tranquil and pensive image of an angel․ The original French title was L’Ange du soir (The Evening Angel)․ The angel is sitting‚ in a kind of twilight landscape․ The large wings are extended above him․ The twilight sky and the tiny moon in the distance illuminate the scene․
The mood is calm‚ spiritual‚ melancholic and protective․ It is less dramatic and more devotional than Cabanel’s earlier work‚ The Fallen Angel‚ from 1847․ Cabanel also painted The Fallen Angel in 1847‚ which is now in the Musée Fabre․
It would work well as antique angel wall decor‚ religious decor‚ classical French art‚ or even museum-grade spiritual decor‚ and would look good in homes and offices where a calm‚ vintage‚ and meditative atmosphere is desired․
