VIRTUAL WEBINAR - Heavenly Messengers: Angels in Renaissance Art

Enter the divine world of Renaissance angels, where master artists transformed celestial beings from the rigid, otherworldly figures of medieval art into radiant messengers of unprecedented beauty, grace, and human emotion. From Fra Angelico's serene Annunciation angels to Leonardo's mysterious angel in the Virgin of the Rocks, these heavenly creatures became some of the most innovative and beloved images in Western art. How did Renaissance artists balance the sacred duty of depicting divine messengers with their new mastery of human anatomy, perspective, and naturalistic beauty? This program reveals how angels became the perfect subjects for artists to showcase their technical brilliance while exploring profound questions about the divine, the human, and the mysterious space where heaven and earth meet.
