Angel of Peace with Olive Branch | BYBS
This angel of peace in a painting by Netherlandish (Dutch) painter Hans Memling has a sweet, serene face, a white robe, and small white wings. Interestingly he also has a black pouch slung over his shoulder. What is in it?
The angel holds an olive branch, representing peace, contrasts dramatically with a gold background.
Hans Memling, also known as Hans Memlinc (ca. 1435-1494), was a Northern Renaissance painter in what is now the Netherlands. He studied under Rogier van der Weyden. His own students included Gerard David and Michel Sittow.
Such beauty and inspiration from the past are a true blessing.
