About this product
Product Information
Erika Langmuir examines the presence and surprisingly complicated history of angels in Christian art. She points out that angels need t be winged; they can wear antique dress, contemporary church vestments, secular fashions, armor, or thing at all; their gender and age are uncertain; they may t even have bodies but appear only as winged heads; and they are t always good (Satan, of course, is a fallen angel). Langmuir explores these intriguing characteristics of angels by looking at some of the best-kwn and most engaging religious paintings in the Western tradition.Product Identifiers
