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?

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
