A new series of small, exquisite hardbacks from London’s National Gallery, in which its unrivalled collection is explored through a variety of appealing themes. From agents of divine will to serene celestial presences, this book celebrates the spirituality and symbolism of angels. These winged figures – encompassing messengers and musicians, cherubims and seraphims, archangels and heavenly hosts – are found not only in biblical depictions but also in allegorical scenes in the Gallery’s collection.
