Hello there artsy folks,
I'm looking for a painting from the Renaissance, I believe, with 4 angels flying side by side and each one of them had a plate (or a papyrus, can't remember) with the first words of the gospels written on them (one angel had a plate with the beginning of the gospel of St. Luke, the other with St. John's, and so on).
Anyone know this painting? |

| can you tell what style/period of art the piece would fall under? i.e. impressionist, realist, etc etc? medium/media used to produce it? relatively popular or recognizable to most? |

It was like most other paintings in the Renaissance. Very realistic but had angels and biblical motifs. I saw it among other well known paintings from that epoch (by Michaelangelo, for example) in a Japanese pizza parlour, but I had never seen it before.
All I remember are the four angels flying, the tablets with paraphrases of the first lines of each gospel in Latin :p |
