Look at those eyes. Just look at them.

This isn't a painting of a devil; it is a painting of the exact moment a heart breaks and turns into a stone of absolute resentment. Cabanel gives us the most beautiful man in heaven, Lucifer, right after the fall. He isn't ugly; he’s stunning, and he is seething.

You can see the tear of betrayal in the corner of his eye, but don't let it fool you—he isn't asking for forgiveness. He is plotting revenge. The tension in those clasped hands, the flexed muscles, the wings darkening at the tips... it is a masterclass in sulking, cosmic rage.

Most academic painters of 1847 were painting polite, boring gods. Cabanel painted a bad boy with a bruised ego and the face of a Greek statue. It is petulant, it is erotic, and it is undeniably human. You don't hang this on your wall because you like religious art. You hang it because you know exactly what that anger feels like.

If Cabanel’s Fallen Angel is the moment of silent, seething resentment, you need to see the loud, chaotic panic that comes next.

Check out The Barque of Dante by Eugène Delacroix.

It is the same hell, but where Cabanel gives you a beautiful sulk, Delacroix gives you the nightmare: bodies clawing at the boat, water that looks like oil, and pure Romantic desperation.
