Standing tall over the rolling landscape of Gateshead, the Angel of the North is one of Britain’s most iconic pieces of public art. Designed by artist Antony Gormley and completed in 1998, this 20-metre-tall steel sculpture has become a powerful symbol of Northern pride and resilience. With wings stretching 54 metres wide, the Angel greets travellers arriving from the south, offering both a contemporary artistic marvel and a tribute to the region’s industrial heritage.
Captured from an elevated angle, this vibrant photograph shows the Angel bathed in glorious daylight, its rust-red steel contrasting vividly against a patchwork of emerald fields and a dramatic sky. The detail in the sculpture’s ribbed structure and the sweeping panoramic backdrop makes this image perfect for anyone who loves modern art, architecture, or the beauty of North East England. Ideal for framing as wall art or as a standout feature in a digital collection.
