Angel Pictures: 14th-18th Centuries
Angel art sometimes seems coextensive with Western art in general; one could easily collect a thousand angel images from nativity and annunciation scenes alone. I have therefore concentrated on images in which there was relatively more attention to the angels, on more unusual angel scenes (Jacob's ladder, Tobit's adventure), and on the best, most famous depictions. To this rule I have made one exception. Raphael's bored angels are so famous, so familiar, so ubiquitous and ultimately so irritating—the artistic equivalent of the babyback ribs song—that they and the dozens of parodies they have inspired have been exiled to another page!
