The Angel of Death Victorious, commonly known as the Haserot Angel is a sculpture located in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, within Lake View Cemetery.[1] The bronze statued, which depicts an angel seated on a polished marble base holding a downwards facing torch was created by artist Herman Matzen, and has become a popular tourist destination in part for the black "tears" apparent on the angels face resulting from oxidation of the metal over time.[2][3]
The statue was commissioned by industrialist Francis Henry Haserot, president of the Haserot Company of Cleveland, after the death of his wife in 1919.[4][5] Herman Matzen, an Ohio-based sculptor from Denmark was commissioned to create the grave marker, which was initially made in clay. The angel has in recent years become a haunted attraction, with reports of tourists seeing, hearing, or otherwise experiencing strange paranormal phenomena.[6][7]
