The Wounded Angel (Finnish: Haavoittunut enkeli) (1903) is a painting by Finnish symbolist painter Hugo Simberg. It is one of the most recognizable of Simberg’s works and was voted Finland’s national painting in a vote held by the Ateneum art museum in 2006.Like other Simberg works the atmosphere is melancholic: the angelic central figure with her bandaged eyes and bloodied wing the sombre clothing of her two youthful bearers. The direct gaze of the right-hand figure touches the viewer.
