Synopsis

Angels are the winged and radiant messengers of God, who fly between heaven and earth, mediating between God and man. In the Purgatorio, Dante describes them as the bright birds of God, indicating their heavenly role and nature. In art, too, angels appear with the wings of a bird, but with the figure of a perfect man.
