Archangel Pictures
Under the head of Angels it was stated that the heavenly host is divided into three hierarchies with Archangels belonging to the third. They are the seven angels who stand in the presence of God and are considered to be his extraordinary ambassadors. Archangel Pictures generally show them with naked feet similar to the Apostles and divine persons. Their ensign is a banner on a cross, as representing Victory. They are usually armed with a sword or dart and are clothed as princes and warriors, with breastplates of gold, and with coronets and crosses on their foreheads to show that they warred against the devil and his angels.
The seven Archangels are introduced in some of the most beautiful works of Christian art, such as in The Last Judgment, and The Crucifixion. They also may appear individually in other works, such as in The Expulsion, The Sacrifice of Abraham, and The Annunciation.
These Archangel Pictures are from my collection of antique Bible books. Feel free to use these Archangel Pictures in your artwork. Click on the Archangel Pictures below to see more details about saving a free Archangel Picture or about purchasing the Archangel Pictures at a higher resolution.
