"Angels in Art" by Clara Erskine Clement Waters is an exploration of how angels are shown in art across history. The book looks at angels, archangels, and other heavenly creatures as they appear in different art forms, referring to both stories from the Bible and myths that explain their depiction. It examines the meaning behind the art, sorts angels into different levels, and looks at the qualities and jobs given to these divine messengers. It talks about how angels have inspired artists from long ago until today. Waters explains the roots of angels based on biblical stories, which gives important information as a base for the artworks displayed. The book aims to uncover the connections between faith and art by how angels are represented across different art forms.
