Angels and Demons in Art

This sumptuously illustrated art history book analyzes artists' representations of angels and demons and heaven and hell from the Judeo-Christian tradition and describes how these artistic portrayals evolved over time.
As with other books in the Guide to Imagery series, the goal of this Christian history book is to help contemporary art enthusiasts decode the symbolic meanings in the great masterworks of Western Art.
The first chapter of this Christian art book traces the development of images of the Creation and the Afterworld from descriptions of them in the scriptures through their evolution in later literary and philosophical works. The following two chapters examine artists' depictions of the two paths that humans may take, the path of evil or the path of salvation, and the punishments or rewards found on each.
A chapter on the Judgment Day and the end of the world explores portrayals of the mysterious worlds between life and death and in the afterlife. Finally, this art history book looks at images of angelic and demonic beings themselves and how they came to be portrayed with the physical attributes - wings, halos, horns, cloven hooves - with which we are now so familiar.
This art history book is one of many art books available from the National Gallery.
