Angels In Art

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 Webcomic s.
