The Angel Collection

Famous Angel Paintings
Recreated by Hand

Angels are messengers between heaven and earth, and painters gave them every possible face: Gabriel kneeling before Mary, guardian angels leading children by the hand, musicians singing in gold, Michael fighting the dragon, and Lucifer fallen and weeping on a rock. This collection gathers famous angel paintings by Leonardo, Raphael, Rubens, Bruegel, Memling, William Blake, Hugo Simberg and Alexandre Cabanel. Every painting is available as a hand-painted oil reproduction on real canvas.

The Most Famous Angel Paintings

Cabanel's furious, weeping Lucifer, Simberg's wounded angel carried by two boys, Thayer's angel with outspread wings and the two little cherubs leaning on the ledge of Raphael's Sistine Madonna.

02

Annunciation and Messengers

In Greek, angelos means messenger. Gabriel brings Mary the news, an angel wakes the shepherds and another rolls back the stone of Christ's tomb.

03

Guardians and Companions

Angels walk beside people: the archangel Raphael guiding young Tobias, an angel dictating to Saint Matthew, angels on Jacob's ladder and freeing souls from purgatory.

04

Choirs and Angel Musicians

Medieval and Renaissance painters filled heaven with music: angels playing lutes, harps and organs around the Virgin and Christ.

05

The War in Heaven

When Lucifer rebelled, the archangel Michael and his army threw the rebel angels out of heaven. Rubens, Bruegel and Luca Giordano painted the fall as a tumbling storm of bodies.

Choosing an Angel Painting

A gentle guardian for a child's room, a choir of musicians for a hallway or a dramatic fallen angel for a statement wall.

Painted by hand

A trained painter rebuilds the image in oils, with visible brushwork, layered colour and the small details that make the original come alive. These are not canvas prints.

II.

The whole painting, never cropped

Every reproduction keeps the full composition at its true proportions. Choose a size that suits your wall and the painting is scaled, never cut or stretched.

Select a size and presentation on the artwork page, or contact ByMuseum for a custom dimension. Every reproduction includes free worldwide shipping.
