Rising ape

Project: Personal project. "I’d rather be a rising ape than a falling angel."

Reference: Alexandre Cabanel's Fallen Angel is a true masterpiece. Do you see the injustice in Lucifer's eyes? It's not just judgmental rage, it's sadness. And shame. The last moment before he is cast out of paradise.

Alexandre Cabanel painted a Devil after his fall from Heaven in 1847. The artist was only 24 years old. The painting is at the Musée Fabre in Montpellier.
