Angels in art
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 Ecstasy of S. Teresa di Avila by Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini (http://www.boglewood.com/cornaro/xteresa.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.
