Angels in art

Angels have appeared in works of art for millennia. Angel-shaped beings appear in ancient Mesopotamian and Greek art and were probably the inspiration for the popular Christian image of angels.

Angels remained a popular subject for Byzantine and European paintings and sculpture.

Several famous examples are:

  • The Annunciation by Guido di Pietro da Mugello (Fra Angelico) (See http://museoprado.mcu.es/prado/html/ianun.html)
  • The Annunciation by Leonardo da Vinci (http://www.lairweb.org.nz/leonardo/annunciation.html)

Angels have also become an intregal part of Anime culture, particularly in fan art and web comics.
