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 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 )
