"The Angel Standing in the Sun" is a renowned oil painting by the English Romantic artist Joseph Mallord William Turner, created in 1846. As one of Turner's later works, it exemplifies his mature style, characterized by dramatic light effects and a vibrant use of color. The painting measures 78.7 x 78.7 cm and is part of the collection at the Tate Britain in London.

The artwork draws its inspiration from the biblical Book of Revelation (19:17), depicting the scene where an angel standing in the sun calls all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven to gather for the great God's supper, to feast upon the flesh of captains and kings. Turner's interpretation of this apocalyptic vision is a powerful display of the sublime, a concept that fascinated many Romantic artists, which seeks to evoke awe and a sense of the overwhelming power of nature or the divine.

In "The Angel Standing in the Sun," the central figure of the angel is bathed in a radiant glow, with wings outstretched, dominating the tumultuous scene below. The angel's commanding presence is contrasted with the chaos of battle and the fall of the mighty, as warriors and their steeds are engulfed by the surrounding turmoil. Turner's use of swirling brushstrokes and a fiery palette enhances the intensity of the scene, creating a sense of movement and energy that seems to emanate from the canvas.

The painting is notable for its abstract qualities and the way in which Turner pushes the boundaries of representational art. His focus on light and color over detail anticipates the Impressionist movement that would emerge later in the 19th century. "The Angel Standing in the Sun" is often cited as an example of Turner's visionary approach to landscape painting, where the natural world is transformed into a stage for profound spiritual and emotional experiences.

Turner's work was met with both acclaim and controversy during his lifetime, and "The Angel Standing in the Sun" continues to be a subject of study and admiration for its technical innovation and its evocative portrayal of biblical prophecy. The painting remains a testament to Turner's enduring legacy as one of Britain's greatest and most influential artists.
