The Statue of the Fallen Angel in Madrid, by Delfín Colorado, a Básico 1 student who did this brilliant work!

Hi, everybody!

My name's Delfin Colorado, I'm a NB1 student at E.O.I. Getafe.

I am sending you the mp3 audio and 2 photos of the statue "El Angel Caído".

I hope you like it !!

Best wishes

Listen! Listen to Delfín telling us the story of this intriguing statue!

Read the story (taken from Bios & Monuments, at our Writing Blog external link):

I'm going to describe the statue of El Angel Caído that's The Fallen Angel in English.

This statue was created in 1877 by Ricardo Bellver and it was placed in the Retiro Park in Madrid. Today it is in the same place.

This is the only statue in the world of The Devil. The fallen angel was a devil expelled from Paradise.

El Angel Caído was placed in a fountain, with open wings and a snake around his body.

The sculptor, Ricardo Bellver, was born in Madrid but this statue was sculpted in Rome.

This is an interesting story.
