The L’Ange Dechu, or Fallen Angel, may be one of the hottest artworks ever made.
A winged nude shields his face behind flexed arms.
His mane of hair snaps in the wind, and brows curl over red-rimmed eyes and a tear of anger.
His body is perfect. His posture appears reposed, but each muscle is flexed with potential energy.
Cast from heaven this is the moment before he rises again.
