This devotion emerged in the 12th century, but gained popularity in the 17th century until it reached today with a more contemporary iconography also widely used in tattoos. Angels, in many spiritual traditions, are seen as messengers and protectors, symbols of light and divine help.

This combination is often used in prayers and meditations to invoke love, protection and guidance. The work is in excellent condition with only a slight craquelure. The frame is ancient, circa 1780/90. There are many restorations, in the case of purchase I undertake to consolidate it as much as possible. Or find another frame in style but more recent. . less
