Fontanna z upadłym Aniołem

The Fountain with the Fallen Angel is a unique monument in Madrid's Retiro Park. This masterful sculpture by Ricardo Bellver depicts a dramatic scene inspired by John Milton's 'Paradise Lost'.

The bronze figure of the fallen angel is placed on an octagonal pedestal, decorated with figures of devils holding fish, lizards and snakes. A fountain 10 meters in diameter surrounds the entire composition, creating an unforgettable sight.

The work is famous for the ambiguity and tension expressed in the angel's posture, making it a fascinating object for art, literature and history lovers.
