"The word 'angel' ... derived from the Greek 'angelos, ' it meant 'shadow side of God, ' 'messenger' or 'revealer of truth.' ... Angels were given free will by God - those who chose good were given a state of eternal grace, those who chose evil found themselves cast out of heaven into hell." (Page 5).

From early iconography to contemporary painting, man has recorded the antics of angels & cherubs through rich & vivid images. In Christian lore, angels are God's messengers, engaged to deliver His word to man & to protect him against all evil. But in our more secular age, we admire angels & cherubs for their decorative characteristics more than their sacred significance. Through this inspired collection of 50 angelic full-color masterpieces, which span the 12th to 20th centuries, we may also begin to unravel their rich, spiritual legacy which they have bestowed upon us.
A gift collection of one hundred color illustrations features the celestial works of Raphael and Botticelli, as well as a selection of Victorian cupids, and includes a Valentine, a gatefold spread, a pop-up, and translucent acetates. 15,000 first printing.
