About this book

Painters and sculptors from the earliest times drew on angels, archangels, cherubim and seraphim, and this illustrated volume, in a London printing of 1899, follows what they made of them. Clara Erskine Clement, an American writer on art, gives separate chapters to Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, then to guardian angels, angel choristers and adoring angels, with a section on evil spirits. Later chapters sort pictures into those based on Scripture, those mixing Scripture and legend, and angels beside the Virgin Mary. Plates include works by Fra Angelico, Botticelli, Murillo and Perugino.

Clara Erskine Clement Waters

Clara Erskine Clement Waters (1834-1916) was an American art historian, lecturer, and traveler, born in St. Louis and educated at home by private tutors. A trip to Palestine and Turkey in 1868 produced her first book, the privately printed Simple Story of the Orient (1869); she toured Europe widely and went around the world in 1883-84.
