"Seraphs: Divine Messengers in Art and Mythology" Step into the world of seraphs, celestial beings depicted throughout history as messengers of God. From religious paintings to tapestries and engravings, these ethereal creatures have captivated artists and believers alike. In "Our Lady of the Rosary, " an oil on canvas masterpiece, seraphs surround the Virgin Mary with their radiant presence. Their wings shimmering with heavenly light, they symbolize divine protection and guidance. Another poignant portrayal is found in "The Stoning of St. Stephen. " As St. Stephen faces martyrdom by stoning, a seraph hovers above him, offering solace amidst his suffering. This painting by Annibale Carracci captures the spiritual strength that angels provide during times of persecution. Traveling to London in 1888 through an engraving titled "The City Road, " we witness a scene where two angels guide travelers towards Islington's iconic Angel statue. These guardian figures remind us that even amidst bustling city life, seraphs watch over us from above. "Gloria in excelsis Deo" showcases a chromolithograph capturing angelic voices singing praises to God. Seraphic choirs are often associated with this hymn of joyous adoration, reminding us of their role as intermediaries between heaven and earth. In biblical tales like "Jacob Wrestling with the Angel, " we encounter another facet of seraphic encounters – their ability to challenge and transform human lives through divine intervention. This colored engraving depicts Jacob's struggle as he wrestles against an angel sent by God himself. "The Death of Adam, " part of the Legend of the True Cross cycle fresco completed in 1464, portrays Adam's passing surrounded by mourning cherubim and serene seraphs who carry his soul towards eternal rest. Here we see how these celestial beings accompany humanity even beyond earthly existence.
