‘Le saut de l’Ange’ – Oil on canvas – 18th century – Italy – [ME102] – This oil on canvas painting from 18th century Italy, titled "Le saut de l'Ange," is associated with Baroque aesthetics. The painter plays with the effects of light and contrasts of chiaroscuro. The depth is not solely based on rigorous geometric perspectives and straight lines. The impression of movement is conveyed through the very expressive gestures of the characters, communicating through their gaze. This painting shows us the efforts of a love-stricken suitor to seduce his beloved and the probable fall of a figure in the background, near a precipice. Can falling in love lead to falling from a great height? This seems to be the allegorical question that the artist is asking us.

Vertigo of love or temptation of the void, this beautiful oil painting in baroque style allegorically associates these two interpretations of the ‘The Angel’s Leap’, which, in either case, is not innocent.
