The Wounded Angel by Hugo Simberg Postcard

The Wounded Angel by Hugo Simberg Postcard

The Wounded Angel by Hugo Simberg. The Wounded Angel, 1903 is a painting by Finnish symbolist painter Hugo Simberg. It is one of the most recognisable of Simberg's works, and was voted Finland's "national painting" in a vote held by the Ateneum art museum in 2006. In a similar 2013 vote held by Nordic Moneta, it was voted second most important. Two sullen boys carry an angel on a stretcher. The angel's wing has been wounded, and there is a bandage over the eyes. This painting by Hugo Simberg, voted Finland's best-loved work of art, speaks to the viewer in countless ways - there are as many interpretations as there are viewers. This is probably exactly the intention of the artist, as when he displayed the painting for the first time there was simply a long dash where there should have been a title. It took Simberg several years to finish this work. The first elements can be found in a sketchbook dating from 1898. Other sketches and photographs reflect the various phases of the composition. The angel always remains the central figure, and the scene of the painting a real place in Helsinki. The painting became an immediate success, and Simberg was awarded the State Prize for his work.

Such a huge range of different frogs available, which made my choices very difficult and now the reason I have a whole draw full of cards and postcards! Much better quality than you can buy in the shops and they are exactly on the subject I love and adore too.
