A simple trace of a selection of figures I found in a book about angels and demons. I did this to try and collect imagery and ideas towards my project and develop from this.
An angel I did research was Lucifer, the Fallen Angel, an archangel. The name Lucifer literally translates to the Morning Star, and his name as become a by-word for Satan in the Church and in popular literature. He believed that he should have been worshipped over God, and the anger and jealousy and abuse of power caused him to be banished from heaven sent down to hell. God "clipped his wings."
Gabriel was also a part of the archangels that God appointed, typically serves as a messenger to humans, from God. In the bible, Gabriel is only ever mentioned twice, once in the old testament and once in the new. In the Gospel of Luke, Gabriel is referred to as "an angel of the Lord.'
