"The Angel Standing in the Sun" is a renowned oil painting by the English Romantic artist Joseph Mallord William Turner, created in 1846. This work is one of Turner's later pieces, showcasing his mature style characterized by dramatic light, vibrant color, and a fascination with natural and apocalyptic themes. The painting measures 78.7 cm × 78.7 cm (31.0 in × 31.0 in) and is part of the collection at the Tate Britain in London.

The painting's title is derived from a passage in the Book of Revelation (19:17), which describes an angel standing in the sun, calling all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven to gather for the great God's supper, where they will feast on the flesh of kings, captains, and mighty men. Turner's depiction is a powerful visual interpretation of this biblical scene, with the angel illuminated by the radiant light of the sun, symbolizing divine presence and the apocalyptic power described in the scripture.

Turner's mastery of light and color is evident in this work, as the angel appears to emanate a blinding light that overwhelms the surrounding landscape. The composition is tumultuous, with swirling clouds and the sun's corona creating a sense of chaos and destruction that aligns with the painting's apocalyptic theme. The figures in the foreground, including the fowls and the remains of human conflict, are rendered with less clarity, emphasizing the overwhelming power of the divine revelation.

"The Angel Standing in the Sun" reflects Turner's interest in the sublime, a concept that explores the awe-inspiring, terrifying, and overwhelming aspects of nature and the divine. This painting is a testament to Turner's ability to convey complex emotional and spiritual narratives through his innovative use of light and color, which would go on to influence the Impressionist movement and subsequent developments in modern art.

As a significant work in Turner's oeuvre, "The Angel Standing in the Sun" continues to be studied and admired for its technical brilliance and its profound engagement with themes of destruction, redemption, and the divine. It remains a powerful example of Turner's enduring legacy as one of the greatest landscape painters of the 19th century.
