Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 13.6 × 21.7 in print therefore arrives as 16 × 24 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 18.8 × 29.9 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Alexandre Cabanel's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 120.5 × 196.5 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Musée Fabre, Montpellier, France. Full size guide.

About the Painting

"Fallen Angel" by Alexandre Cabanel, created in 1847, is a striking testament to the dramatic flair of 19th-century academic painting. This masterpiece, housed in the Musée Fabre in Montpellier, France, captures the tumultuous moment of Lucifer's expulsion from heaven. The central figure, a youthful, muscular angel, exudes a mix of defiance and despair, his intense gaze locking directly with the viewer's eyes.

Cabanel's angel is seated on a barren rock, his body twisted in a complex pose that highlights his athletic form. His wings, dark and iridescent, droop behind him, symbolizing his fall from grace. The figure's left arm is thrown across his knees, while his right arm supports his head, a gesture that conveys both exhaustion and contemplation. Ivy vines wrap around his lower limbs, perhaps alluding to his impending entanglement with earthly sin.

The backdrop is a sublime sky, filled with ethereal, angelic forms that seem to fade into the heavens. These celestial beings, rendered in soft, pastel hues, contrast sharply with the fallen angel's more robust and earthly tones. Cabanel's use of light and shadow is masterful, highlighting the angel's taut muscles and the delicate contours of his face, yet casting his lower body in a more somber shade, emphasizing his separation from the divine.

The emotional depth in "Fallen Angel" is palpable; the viewer can almost feel the weight of the angel's predicament. Cabanel's technical skill is evident in the meticulous details – from the feathers of the wings to the tendrils of ivy – each element meticulously crafted to enhance the overall narrative of loss and longing. This painting not only showcases Cabanel's prowess as a painter but also invites viewers to ponder the profound themes of rebellion, punishment, and redemption.
