Description:
Angels represent a particularly lustrous common thread in the tapestry of human belief. Throughout the ages, these celestial creatures have figured prominently in Western art, appearing as intermediaries between heaven and earth, communicating God's will to humanity with infinite compassion and grace. We may not know exactly how an angel would look, but the twelve paintings reproduced in this calendar offer stunning possibilities. Featured artists range from Giovanni and Stefano, painting at the turn of the twelfth century, to Quattrocento artists Francesco Botticini and Benozzo Gozzoli, to the Victorians Sir Edward Burne-Jones and John Melhuish Strudwick. A quotation about angels accompanies each month's image.
