    Angels are supernatural beings found in many religions that act as intermediaries between God and humanity. They are often depicted as benevolent celestial beings and described as having protective or guiding roles. Abrahamic religions especially portray angels in hierarchies and may give them names like Gabriel or Michael or titles like seraph or archangel. In art, angels are usually shown as exceptionally beautiful human-shaped beings sometimes with wings, halos, or emanating light.

    ANGELS

    The Archangel Michael wears a late Roman military cloak and cuirass in this 17th-century depiction by Guido
    Reni
    AN ANGEL IS GENERALLY A SUPERNATURAL BEING FOUND IN VARIOUS RELIGIONS AND
    MYTHOLOGIES. ABRAHAMIC RELIGIONS OFTEN DEPICT ANGELS AS BENEVOLENT CELESTIAL BEINGS WHO
    ACT AS INTERMEDIARIES BETWEEN GOD (OR HEAVEN) AND HUMANITY.[1][2] OTHER ROLES OF ANGELS
    INCLUDE PROTECTING AND GUIDING HUMAN BEINGS, AND CARRYING OUT TASKS ON BEHALF OF GOD.[3]
    ABRAHAMIC RELIGIONS OFTEN ORGANIZE ANGELS INTO HIERARCHIES, ALTHOUGH SUCH RANKINGS MAY
    VARY BETWEEN SECTS IN EACH RELIGION. SUCH ANGELS MAY RECEIVE SPECIFIC NAMES (SUCH AS
    GABRIEL OR MICHAEL) OR TITLES (SUCH AS SERAPH OR ARCHANGEL). PEOPLE HAVE ALSO EXTENDED THE
    USE OF THE TERM "ANGEL" TO VARIOUS NOTIONS OF SPIRITS OR FIGURES FOUND IN OTHER RELIGIOUS
    TRADITIONS. THE THEOLOGICAL STUDY OF ANGELS IS KNOWN AS "ANGELOLOGY". ANGELS EXPELLED
    FROM HEAVEN ARE REFERRED TO AS FALLEN ANGELS AS DISTINCT FROM THE HEAVENLY HOST.

    IN FINE ART ANGELS ARE USUALLY DEPICTED AS HAVING THE SHAPE OF HUMAN BEINGS OF
    EXTRAORDINARY BEAUTY [4] BUT NO GENDER (UNTIL THE 19TH CENTURY AT LEAST). THEY ARE OFTEN
    IDENTIFIED IN CHRISTIAN ARTWORK WITH BIRD WINGS,[5] HALOS,[6] AND LIGHT.
