It provides an insightful analysis of artistic symbolism, categorizing angels into hierarchies and examining the characteristics and roles attributed to these divine messengers. The opening of the book sets the stage for a comprehensive study of angels in art, highlighting their significance as inspirational figures for artists from ancient times to the modern era. It discusses how the representation of angels has evolved over centuries, faced with a blend of religious, cultural, and personal interpretations. Waters introduces the scriptural foundations of angelic figures, giving an overview of their roles as protectors, guides, and witnesses in biblical narratives, which further informs the artistic renderings that followed.
