The Wounded Angel (Finnish:
Haavoittunut enkeli; Swedish: Sårad ängel; 1903) is a painting by Finnish symbolist painter Hugo Simberg. Like other Simberg works, the atmosphere is melancholic: the angelic central figure with her bandaged forehead and bloodied wing, the sombre clothing of her two youthful bearers. The right-hand figure's gaze is fixated beyond and to the right of the viewer. While the exact meaning of the painting is unclear, it is a profoundly moving piece, one that appeals to the viewers on a deep and personal level. The piece was created by Hugo Simberg, one of Finland's most famous painters. He was a member of the symbolist movement, an artistic movement that sought to expressive higher truths through art. Simberg revels in strange and supernatural subjects, and his work typically has an otherworldly and melancholic aura.
