An Abstract Love for Paintings of Angels

Everyone gets mystified by the reality behind the existence of these haloed beings known as angels. Do they really exist or do they not? If they don’t, what inspires painting of angels? How do angel painters come up with such celestial images?

Painting angels is the application of color to a surface such as canvas, paper, or wood glass or any other support to create an angelic illustration. Many angel painters are in either just as an outlet or for expression purposes or sometimes because they have devoted their lives into creating painting of angels.

What could be the reason behind the popularity of painting or collecting painting of angels?

The following are just theories, but who knows?

Painting of angels can be one source of aesthetic delight.

Same as the reason why many people would love to collect just any kind of painting of any genre or painting style, paintings of angels can very well soothe the need for beauty of the human eye. Who will not fall in love with the striking aura of angels?
Painting of angels imbibes a peaceful ambience.

Oftentimes, people can be too overwhelmed with the hustle and bustle of their daily lives and the fast-paced evolution of everything that they desire to be held by a peaceful force that will make them sit down and stare for a while to contemplate on everything that is happening. Having paintings of angels around can help on this endeavor. People can have more than enough of life’s drag, just seeing paintings of angels with the white-feathered wings can lend some help in making them feel that they are finally smoothly flying.

De-stressing is one way to put this benefit of painting of angels. An all-white image with a soft, heavenly face, which seems to shine through a confirmation that it will always protect you can be one good stress-reliever after a hard day at work, don’t you think?
Painting of angels provides guiding force for children.

Especially Christian families, it is easy to be more confident that children left at home or in one room can be safer when paintings of angels are up on walls. The belief that God made angels to become guiding lights to humans is what strengthens this idea. Paintings of angels can be of great help in making parents feel that nothing will happen to their children or if ever anything happens nothing will harm their children since paintings of angels have spirits in them that, when in distress, will come out or make their presence felt and will save the children.

This guiding force provided by painting of angels can also benefit children’s development. Another belief that angels are more close to children can be of theoretical value to the reason why painting of angels can make a child’s development more of a success. Children, with their untarnished personalities, are more communicative of their feelings. Just seeing a painting with an image of angel can make their minds open to making that painting of angels a source of imaginary friends. And it’s a known fact from the discipline of Psychology that children with imaginary friends are normal and healthy children that are more likely to have healthy social lives.
Painting of angels can be excellent heirloom pieces.

With all the above mentioned benefits of having painting of angels, like any painting, painting of angels can appreciate as time goes by. Be it a monetary value or sentimental value that a person prioritizes in weighing the significance of any item or belonging, it is more probable that a collection of painting of angels will be more valuable in the next few years or decades or even centuries to come.

Paintings of angels can relieve stress, imbibe a peaceful atmosphere, heal a wounded soul, provide protection for children, augment children development, be of great value as heirloom pieces and provide more mysterious benefits to anyone who will have them in their homes.

It’s high time that you find one painting of angel for you own home to get those wonderful benefits, too. You don’t have to collect paintings of angels if you don’t have the space or the money to collect paintings of angels. Learning to paint paintings of angels is a lot better if you have the time.

Angelology: Studying beings of pure spirit

Angels are extremely popular in art and culture. They are well-loved not only for their religious significance but also for their beauty and mystery. The study of angels is called angelology. Not all people interested in angelology are religious. Some angelology enthusiasts simply appreciate the idea of angels and what they stand for.

So what do angels stand for? The word angel is from a Hebrew word meaning "messenger." Angels are messengers of God. They mediate between God and men, and they act as instruments of God's will on earth.

Angelology encompasses different beliefs in different religions.

Christian Angelology

In Christian belief, angelology is one of the ten branches of theology. According to Christian angelology, angels are divided into a hierarchy. St. Gregory the Great identifies nine orders, or classes, of angels in Christian angelology: Angels, Archangels, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Dominations, Throne, Cherubim, and Seraphim.

Angelology holds that, just as there are beings that are purely material and beings that are both material and spiritual, there are beings that are purely spiritual. Angels are purely spiritual beings. According to Christian angelology, angels are made from fire and surrounded by light.

Angels figure in many important moments in the Bible. In the Old Testament, angels appear before the people of God in different forms, usually in human form. They are not always recognized as angels by the people before whom they appear.

According to Christian angelology, there are a great number of angels in the heavens.

While Christian angelology is based largely on the Bible, a number of Christian thinkers, including St. Gregory the Great, St. Denis, and St. Jerome, have contributed their own ideas to angelology.

The Archangels in Angelology

According to Christian angelology, three angels are named in the Bible: Raphael, Michael, and Gabriel. Raphael's name means "God has healed." He appears in the Book of Tobit, where he heals an old man and saves a young woman from the devil.

Michael is the angel of judgment. He is depicted in art as a warrior in full battle gear, with a helmet, sword, and shield. Often the shield is shown bearing the inscription "Quis ut Deus," or "Who is like God," which is what the name Michael means. Michael's tasks include battling Satan and bringing souls to judgment.

Gabriel is the angel of mercy. According to Christian angelology, it was Gabriel who told Zachariah about the coming birth of John the Baptist, who announced to the Virgin Mary that she would be the mother of God, and who told the shepherds in Bethlehem of the birth of Jesus Christ.

Not all Christian churches believe in the three archangels. Some churches acknowledge only Michael and Gabriel in their angelology.

Jewish Angelology

Jews have a slightly different view of angelology that nevertheless resembles Christian angelology in some respects. According to Jewish angelology, there are nine named angels: Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, Uriel, Raguel, Sariel, and Jerahmeel.

Early Jewish angelology believed that angels are beings created by God and that some angels have free will. This view of angelology is no longer universally held by Jews today. A branch of Jewish angelology holds that angels represent the different laws of nature and symbolize the omnipotence of God.

Islamic Angelology

Angelology is integral to Islamic belief. Muslims believe that the archangel Jibra'il (Gabriel) dictated the Q'uran to the Prophet Muhammad. Thus, according to Islamic angelology, angels take part in God's revelation to man. Islamic angelology holds that angels are beings made of light and do not have free will.

Unlike Christian angelology, Islamic angelology does not specify a hierarchy of angels, although it is thought that different angels have different assigned tasks. Islamic angelology does consider Archangels to be the highest order, or class, of angels.

Islamic angelology holds that there are four Archangels: Jibra'il (Gabriel), Azra'il (Azrael), Mika'il (Michael), and Israfil (Raphael). According to Islamic angelology, the Archangels have thousands of wings, while other angels have two, three, or four pairs of wings.

Other angels are named in Islamic angelology, including Malik, the angel of Hell; Ridwan, the angel of Heaven; Kiraamun kaatibeen, two angels who keep a record of a person's good and bad acts; and Munkar and Nakir, who ask a person in the grave about his good and bad acts.

Angelology and Art

Through the ages, angels have been depicted in countless paintings and sculptures, primarily in examples of Christian art. Angelology often shows angels as appearing in human form, although they have a heavenly glow.

A fascination with angels and an interest in angelology has endured through the ages. The great religions of the world all include concepts of angelology. Even to people who are not deeply religious, angelology is interesting because the idea of beings who are pure spirit is a wonderful thing.

Biblical Angels: Messengers of joy

Biblical angels are among the most beloved figures in art and culture. It's not surprising that they are well-loved, because biblical angels are so beautiful and mysterious. Despite their mystery, it is actually possible to learn about these heavenly beings. Here are some things you need to know about biblical angels:

Biblical angels: What are they?

The word angel means "messenger." Biblical angels are messengers of God. The purpose of biblical angels is to mediate between God and man.

What biblical angels do?

In addition to being messengers of God, biblical angels execute God's will, worship God, and protect those who have been saved by God's grace. Biblical angels perform a number of tasks on earth in different books of the Bible.

Kinds of Biblical Angels

There are different kinds of biblical angels. The book of Revelation mentions seven biblical angels that stand before God's throne. St. Gregory the Great writes of nine orders or classes of biblical angels: Angels, Archangels, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Dominations, Throne, Cherubim, and Seraphim.

Number of Biblical Angels

Several passages in the Bible indicate that there are a great number of biblical angels. The words "hosts" and "multitudes," both of which imply a very great number, are used in the Bible to refer to biblical angels.

Names of Biblical Angels

Only three biblical angels are named in the Bible: the archangels Raphael, Michael, and Gabriel. These three biblical angels have different characteristics.

The name Raphael means "God has healed." In the book of Tobit, Raphael tells Tobias what to do to heal his blind father and saves Sarah, Tobias's wife, from the devil.

Michael is the biblical angel of judgment. He is often represented as a warrior in full battle gear, including a helmet, sword, and shield. His shield is sometimes shown to bear the inscription "Quis ut Deus," or "Who is like God," which is what his name means. According to Christian tradition, Michael has four offices, or roles: to battle Satan, to save souls especially at the hour of death, to be the champion of God's people, and to bring souls to judgment. Michael's name was the war cry of the good angels in the battle in heaven against Satan and his followers.

Gabriel is the biblical angel of mercy. His name means "power of God." The biblical angel Gabriel is mentioned twice in the book of Daniel in the Old Testament and twice in the New Testament, where he foretold the birth of John the Baptist to Zachary, and the birth of Jesus Christ to Mary.

Biblical Angels: Good and Evil

Some biblical angels are said to be evil. Evil angels are mentioned in the book of Job. Evil angels are also said to have been involved in a great battle in heaven during which a number of biblical angels who had defied God were defeated by the good angels. In the New Testament, Satan is described as a fallen angel. Other biblical angels said to be evil are not actually evil angels but are bringers of evil events. These biblical angels inflict suffering on mankind as a punishment from God.

Biblical Angels and Momentous Events

Biblical angels are present at many of the greatest moments in the Bible. We are familiar with the biblical angel who told the shepherds of the birth of Jesus Christ. Nine months before that, the archangel Gabriel figured in another important moment when he announced to the Virgin Mary that she was carrying the son of God. Christian tradition considers the biblical angel who spoke to the shepherds at the birth of Christ to be the archangel Gabriel as well. In the Old Testament, the destruction of the corrupt city of Sodom is caused by biblical angels.

Guardian Angels

Another role of biblical angels, according to Christian belief, is that of guardian angels (also known as tutelary angels). In the book of Exodus, God tells Moses, "My angel shall go before you." In the book of Deuteronomy, biblical angels are put in charge of nations. In the New Testament, a biblical angel gives Jesus Christ strength during the agony in the garden. Another biblical angel releases Peter from prison. Christians believe that a guardian angel watches over each one of us. According to St. Thomas, our guardian angels stay with us even after death. They join us in heaven.

Not everything is known or can be known about biblical angels. But biblical angels remain among the most enduring figures in the minds of human beings because they are symbols of God's love for us
