History Art / TheFallenAngel

* DarkIsEvil: Lucifer's wings are starting to turn black, starting from the outside. This signifies his fall from grace and his becoming the prince of Hell.

* HeavenlyBlue: The general lighting of the painting is blue because it's that time of dawn when the sun hasn't raised yet (the so-called blue hour). As its name indicates, this artwork depicts Christian angels (as perceived in UsefulNotes/TheRenaissance) -- Lucifer, newly expulsed from Heaven and still retaining most of his angelic beauty, as well as a number of blue-tinted, background angels.

* TroubledButCute: Lucifer is painted as a handsome, muscled young man. His expression is one of humiliation, rage, and pain because he has just betrayed (and been dumped by) the [[UsefulNotes/{{Christianity}} God]] he loved so much.

* BlueIsHeroic: The non-fallen angels in the background are blue-tinted. {{Justified}} since they are far away and, thus, suffer from [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_perspective atmospheric distortion]].

* SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains: The recently fallen Lucifer is naked, muscled, and handsome whilst the angels still in Heaven are fully clothed with robes.

* SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains: The recently fallen Lucifer is naked, muscled, and handsome whilst the angels still in Heave are fully clothed with robes.

* SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains: The recently fallen Lucifer is naked, muscled, and handsome whilst the angels still in Heave are wearing robes and are not drawn detailed enough to be considered attractive.

** ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'': There are two shots where Anakin, after betraying the Jedi Council and becoming a Sith apprentice, references ''The Fallen Angel''. In the [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cabanel_anakin_1.png first]], he's crying and sporting a suffering expression after Palpatine orders him to kill the Jedi younglings. In the [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cabanel_anakin_2.png second]], Anakin is giving Obi-Wan a pained, full-of-hatred KubrickStare while dueling him, so he's shielding his face with his arms.

Cabanel painted it when he was still a student and nearly gave heart arrest to the art judges of the Salon of Paris (the place Cabanel aspired to exhibit it). It doesn't help that Cabanel's was the first rendition of the Devil made by a pupil, such a tricky subject was usually reserved for Academic Art masters only.

* {{Satan}}: The subject of this work is Lucifer, specifically, the one from UsefulNotes/Christianity.

* {{Satan}}: The subject of this work is Lucifer, the prince of Hell of the Christian religion.

It depicts [[{{Satan}} Lucifer]] just after he's expulsed from Heaven, so the feelings of shame, anger, and hurt are very fresh on his countenance. Lucifer has his arms crossed over the lower half of his face and is tensely laying over a patch of rocky soil with both his wings and muscles coiled tightly.

** ''WesternAnimation/{{Arcane}}'': At the end of the third episode, Silco is embracing and comforting Powder, who has just been slapped and abandoned by her older sister. The final shot frames Powder's right eye between Silco's arms -- she's wearing the same expression as Cabanel's Lucifer. The context of this situation is that Powder has just accidentally killed all of her adoptive family and that the overwhelming guilt is going to drive her into insanity. Furthermore, this frame parallels one of the promotional posters, where Powder is being protectively hugged by her older sister. In a sense, this represents how Powder went from a difficult childhood with a loving family to being adopted by a well-intentioned but toxic man who uses as an assassin.
