EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Statue of the Angel with the Column, or Throne Angel, by the renowned Italian Baroque sculptor Antonio Raggi (1624-1686). The statue is located on the iconic Ponte Sant'Angelo in Rome, Italy, which was originally built as a bridge and mausoleum for Emperor Hadrian in the 1st century AD. The Angel with the Column is a stunning example of the artistic brilliance of the 17th century. The statue depicts an angel in the act of piercing the body of a dragon, while seated on a column. The angel's wings are spread wide, creating an aura of protection and power. The intricate details of the statue are evident in the delicate folds of the angel's robe and the veins on the dragon's scales. Antonio Raggi was a prolific sculptor, known for his mastery of the Baroque style. He was a student of the famous Gian Lorenzo Bernini and his influence is evident in the dynamic and dramatic pose of the Throne Angel. The statue is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Italy and the enduring beauty of European art. The bridge, Ponte Sant'Angelo, is named after the angel statue and has been an important landmark in Rome for centuries. It has been featured in numerous works of art and literature, including Goethe's "Italian Journey." The statue of the Angel with the Column continues to be a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of the city's rich history and cultural significance.
