What is the difference between the Virgin of Guadeloupe and the Madonna of Divine Love? As a journey through different regional cultures, this book gathers together more than 400 photographs of sculptures of angels and the virgin Mary that are scattered across the most remote corners of the earth. A photographic celebration of the sacred statues, shrines and religious icons which Christianity has given birth to.
Small or big, fighting or calm, imposing or in a modest posture, sleepy or active, thoughtful or simply with a vacant look, playful or serious, enlivening the world of busy towns or of peaceful gardens, the angels in the gathered images represent a collection enriching and delighting the eye and the mind of onlookers. The only shortcoming is that the place/source of the photos is not mentioned, only the photographers.
