# Angel [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [BOTTICELLI, Sandro]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Chalk, traced with pen, washed and heightened with white, 266 x 165 mm ## Commentary Angel c. 1490 Chalk, traced with pen, washed and heightened with white, 266 x 165 mm Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence The youthful angel, facing to the right, can be dated stylistically to the 1490s, though wingless angels were not a feature of Botticelli's works during this period. In this work, Botticelli concentrated on the wonderful movement of the garments, a feature that the figure has in common with the round dance of angels in the Coronation of the Virgin. The damaged work was mounted onto paper, and the arm and head were added by another artist at a later stage. <P> <TABLE ALIGN=LEFT CELLPADDING=5 BORDER=1 WIDTH=320 BGCOLOR="\#99CCCC"> <TR VALIGN=MIDDLE><TD><IMG SRC="/support/gif/listen.gif" BORDER=0 VALIGN=MIDDLE> Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 4 minutes\):<BR><A HREF="\#" onClick="w=window.open \('/music1/19\_cent/franck\_panis.html', 'newWin', 'scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350'\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true"><B>César Franck: Panis angelicus</B></A> </TD></TR></TABLE> ## Related artworks - [A Young Man Being Introduced to the Seven Liberal Arts]() - [Adoration of the Child]() - [Adoration of the Magi \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Agony in the Garden]() - [Allegory of Abundance]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
