This polychrome relief sculpture, in the Bargello Florence, is of the Madonna and Child surrounded by four angels, dated to 1465, is by Agostino Di Duccio
Themed images for Angels.
This sculpture by Jehan Soulas is part of the choir screen at Chartres Cathedral. Depicting the nativity scene it incorporates elements from the Apocryphal Gospels and shows Mary kneeling before the child, with angels at the head of the crib and Joseph standing with his hat in his hands.
Francesco Boschi’s Adoration of the Angels, painted in the mid-seventeenth century for the Florentine church of Santi Michele e Gaetano, transforms personal grief and civic faith into a radiant vision of redemption. At its center, an oval image of the Virgin and Child is set like a relic within a cloud of angels—infant-like figures who hover in tender adoration. These cherubs, with their soft forms and open gestures, evoke not mere celestial attendants but the transfigured souls of children, the innocenti of Florence’s collective memory.
