From the beginning of humanity's recorded encounters with the divine, they have made their appearance as messengers, intermediaries, guides, and protectors. In this sumptuous book, treasures from the extensive collections of the Vatican in Rome show how, through the ages, artists have represented the invisible, spiritual begins known as angels. This volume illuminates images of angels from Byzantine, Renaissance, Baroque, and modern Wester art as well as winged figures from the time of the Assyrians, Etruscans, and Romans. A preface by His Holiness Pope John Paul II introduces this fascinating look at the extraordinary variety of ways in which artists have made visible the spiritual beings known as angels." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: His Holiness Pope John Paul II; His Eminence Rosalio Jose Cardinal Castillo Lara; Participating Museums; Patrons of the Arts in the Vatican Museums; Map of the Vatican City State; Papal Patronage and Collecting Through the Centuries, by Allen Duston; Angels and the World of Spirits, by Basil Cole and Robert Christian; Wrestling with Angels: The Invisible Made Visible, by Arnold Nesselrath; The Classical Origins of Angel Iconography, by Maurizio Sannibale and Paolo Liverani; Catalogue.
