Image description

Formerly attributed to Francisco Rizi (1614-85) and Fray Juan Andrés Rizi (1600-81). Brilliant in their swift execution and at the same time powerful and nuanced in expression, these sketches of angels come from a single sheet cut apart at some point in its history. Reflecting the popular subject of the mighty guardian angel who leads the Christian soul disguised as a child, the studies present two variations on the theme: one angel points dramatically skyward, indicating the true way towards heaven; the other is more modest and reflective.
