The Angel of Sodom - Christian Berard Framed Canvas
Description
Christian Bérard’s The Angel of Sodom sears through shadow with its stark, unfinished immediacy. A nude figure rises, flesh mottled by ochre, sienna, and charcoal gray, haloed by wings brushed in streaks of turquoise, carmine, and chalk-white. His stance is taut, sword lowered, eyes locked forward, both martyr and sentinel in a darkened void.
Painted during interwar modernism, Bérard fuses surrealist tension with baroque drama, Parisian theatricality with biblical allegory. The body is raw, limbs elongated, contours collapsing into abstraction, conjuring both vulnerability and menace.
Once a darling of haute couture, scenography, and Paris salons, Bérard immortalizes forbidden desire and exile through sacred ruin. This art print captures a queer icon’s restless imagination, where angelic guardianship becomes a symbol of condemned longing.
