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)

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