Image of Pursuing Angels, 1816 (oil on canvas) by Vogel von Vogelstein, Carl Christian (1788-1868)

Pursuing Angels, 1816 (oil on canvas)

Image description: After Raphael's 'Stanza d'Eliodoro' in the Vatican, Rome. The episode of Heliodorus comes from the apocryphal book of Macobedes and depicts the event when Heliodorus attempts to steal the treasure of the Temple of Jerusalem, whereupon an Angelic figure on horseback appears in his pursuit. Julius II and the Holy See were in danger; divine intervention was called for the sake of the Church and it was claimed that treasure of the temple was for the benefit of the poor, widows and children. The two figures depicted by Vogel follow the scourge of the Angelic figure.
