This original Pocket Guide examines the presence and surprisingly complicated history of angels in Christian art. Erika Langmuir points out that angels need not be winged; they can wear antique dress, contemporary church vestments, secular fashions, armor, or nothing at all; their gender and age are uncertain; and they are not always good. Langmuir explores these intriguing characteristics of angels by looking at some of the most engaging religious paintings in the Western tradition.
