Offering a fresh look at an ancient subject, Angels in Art is the most lavish book of angelic art ever published. Captured here are a myriad of angels in a multitude of guises, as portrayed by artists ranging from Giotto, Fra Angelico, and Botticelli to Bernini, Rembrandt, Rossetti, Manet, and Keith Haring. These and other artists, from the first millennium to contemporary times, have created radiant depictions of angels in frescoes, oil paintings, mosaics, prints, stained glass, tapestries, manuscript illuminations, and sculpture. Divided into seven chapters~Angel Portraits, Heavenly Messengers, Hosts of Angels, Cherubs, Patterns of Flight, Battles of Good and Evil (which includes the fallen angels), and Guardian Angels and Companions~this captivating book surveys every aspect of artists' long~time fascination with these celestial creatures. Theologians, mystics, and poets have argued for centuries over what angels look like and even whether they can be seen at all. But for artists, angels must be made visible, and over the centuries angel imagery has evolved from the ethereal to the fleshy, paralleling Western culture's progression from faith in the unseen to a greater reliance on scientific observation. Even now, in the late twentieth century, so many people still express faith in angels and so many artists continue to depict them that the angel remains an eternally appealing subject.…
