[[Angel]]s have appeared in works of [[art]] for millennia.
Angel-shaped beings appear in ancient [[Mesopotamian]] and [[Ancient Greece|Greek]] art and were probably the inspiration for the popular [[Christianity|Christian]] image of angels.

Angels remained a popular subject for [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]] and [[Europe]]an paintings and sculpture.

Several noteworthy examples are:

* ''The Ecstasy of [[Teresa of Avila|S. Teresa di Avila]]'' by [[Gian Lorenzo Bernini|Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini]] (http://www.boglewood.com/cornaro/xteresa.html)

* ''The Annunciation'' by [[Leonardo da Vinci]] (http://www.lairweb.org.nz/leonardo/annunciation.html)

* ''The [[Sopo Archangels]]''

Angels have also become an integral part of [[Anime]] culture, particularly in [[fan art]] and [[webcomic]]s.
