This book is another great resource for angel imagery. Sculptures, paintings, and illuminated manuscripts shimmer on every page. Angel Portraits, Heavenly Messengers, Hosts of Angels, Patterns of Flight, Battles of Good and Evil, Guardian Angels and Companions, and a useful index are all included. While the art depicted is predominantly Christian in nature, this book is still an enjoyable resource for anyone (religious or not) who is interested in angelic mythology and art.

This is a beautiful book with great takes of angels in art. Enjoyed it very much.

This lovely book features renderings of the many different types of angels in art. From the classics to the contemporaries, the book covers many mediums including oils, sculpture and tapestry. While it lacks the presence of The Glory of Angels, it is a delightful introduction to angels in art.

I picked up this book yesterday from a local thrift shop, it is an excellent book, and I only paid 4.99 for it, it's in excellent shape, and has many beautiful pictures of angels...mostly from French museums...this is well written and easy to understand, easy to turn the pages too. The paper is excellent...love this book and love angels.
