L'Ange du Foyer ou Le Triomphe du Surréalime[1] (1937, English: Fireside Angel or The Triumph of Surrealism) is a work by Max Ernst. It is one of the few definitively political pieces depicting a raging bird-like creature that symbolizes the wave of fascism that took over Europe.
The work has been compared to the Isenheim Altarpiece [2]
