FAO: Art connoisseurs

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?

I should've seen it coming

Not rea-- hey, is that an Indian? What horseman of the apocalypse is he!? There are no casinos in the bible!

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?

he said renaissance. i am thinking golden circles behind the angels' heads and stuff.

i have seen the painting you are talking about but I have no idea where or what it is called.

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

This thread is the first time my mind has even acknowledged the concept of Japanese pizza.

Unacknowledge, deacknowledge, and forget it. I said it was a pizza parlour...



... I never said I had some proper pizza there

(I saw the painting some place else, but this is what they call pizza there )

Wow t hat's really weird, I've never seen it like that before lol

That's close, DigitalPhoenix, but it had 4 plates/papyri rather than just one

Actually, the change from "oi" to "ai" happened after the English borrowed the word, so that's why the spelling is not unified in both sides of the channel

there could be hundreds of paintings representing what you're describing

Lira, you don't know much about Renaissance Art, do you?

There could literally be thousands, if not more, of similar Renaissance paintings
