Description
An archangel, white wings spread and flaming sword in hand, alights on a snowy, rocky peak.
Archangels are said to be God's highest order of angel. They appear in Christian, Islamic, and Hebrew texts at the top of the angelic hierarchy. Their names vary from one faith to another, but the most well known are Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel. Others include Jibrael, Mikael, Israfil, Azrael, Abaddon, and Uriel. In popular culture and art, these beings tend to be depicted as humans with wings, wearing armor and carrying a flaming sword. In some stories, Lucifer was also and archangel before being cast out of Heaven to became a fallen angel.
I started this work to depict a seraph. The seraphim were a kind of six winged angel, but I thought that so many wings looked a bit cluttered, so I created this version with just the single pair of wings which I rather like better.
Thanks for looking,
Daniel Eskridge
