More about this artwork

Paul Cézanne, known for his influential contributions to the progression of modern art, skillfully ventures into the domain of figurative sketching with this compelling study titled "Study of an Angel in Rubens’ ‘The Prophet Elijah.’" Created between 1892 and 1895, this artwork offers a glimpse into Cézanne's exploration of themes from classical masterpieces, specifically drawing inspiration from the works of Peter Paul Rubens.The sketch portrays an angel in a dynamic pose, with sweeping lines that suggest both movement and ethereal grace. The angel's figure is bent forward, its muscular torso twisted to reveal the tension and energy of its celestial form. The sketch is executed with a soft yet confident stroke, typical of Cézanne’s sketches, emphasizing the fluidity and motion inherent in the angelic figure. The lightly sketched wings add a delicate touch to the robust and expressive body, creating a stark contrast that enhances the portrayal's dramatic impact.This study not only reflects Cézanne's prowess in capturing complex anatomical details and movement but also provides insight into his artistic process—his ability to distill the essence of Rubens' baroque vigor into a more subdued yet equally powerful expression.
