Fallen Angel - Blond, Bare Chested Winged Male, Contemporary Oil Painting
Located in Chicago, IL
Milton’s "Paradise Lost" has inspired generations of artists to depict the story of fallen angels. Surdo brings a unique and modern fire to the subject. A winged male with a perfect body is shown bare chested, his mane of hair snaps in the wind. His posture appears reposed, but each muscle is flexed with potential energy. Cast from heaven—this is the moment before he (aka Lucifer) rises again. The painting is framed in a substantial black wooden frame with a gold inset measuring 50.5 x 37.5 inches. Bruno Surdo Fallen Angel oil on canvas 42h x 29w in 106.68h x 73.66w cm BRS077 Bruno A. Surdo b.

Shop Antique and Vintage Nude Paintings

Today, antique and vintage nude paintings are popular works of art to consider when decorating your home.

The nude as an artist’s subject gained prominence in ancient Greece, wherein male nudes were rendered equivalent to power and victory owing to the Greeks’ celebration of men in athletic events as well as in the worship of the gods who populate Greek mythology. Nude sculptures in Greece positioned men as warriors — strong, moral and fearless. The naked female figures featured in prehistoric art and the art of ancient civilizations, on the other hand, were symbols of fertility and procreation.

Italian painters of the 1400s looked to the magnificent nude sculptures of Greek and Roman art for inspiration. By the end of the century, drawing of undressed models was part of the common practice for these artists. When Christianity had spread through Europe, however, Christians condemned Renaissance nude paintings — most of which are considered famous nude paintings today — because they were erotic, exploring, in some cases, same-sex relationships as well as women’s sexual power. Censorship was the order of the day, except for religious-themed works, such as 1526’s iconic Adam and Eve, an oil painting made by German Renaissance painter Lucas Cranach the Elder, one of more than 50 works made in his workshop based on the biblical story. Tuscan painter Daniele da Volterra was famously hired to paint fig leaves over the most exposed figures of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel. While freedom of expression for artists has expanded significantly since then, prudish censorship persists when it comes to Renaissance nudity.
