From the collection of Ashmolean Museum
An Angel is a 1520 unspecified by Francesco Granacci, a High Renaissance work, held at Ashmolean Museum.
This painting depicts an angel, standing in front of a stone archway. The angel is dressed in a pink robe, with green wings visible behind them. They are barefoot and appear to be holding something in their hands, although it is not clear what it is. The angel's face is turned to the right, and their hair is pulled back. The background of the painting is a muted color, which helps to draw attention to the angel. The overall effect of the painting is one of serenity and calmness.
