Singing angels (after The Ghent Altarpiece) is a 1557 oil by Michiel Coxie, a Northern Renaissance work, held at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
The painting depicts a group of angels gathered around a wooden structure, with one angel holding a book. The angels are dressed in ornate robes and crowns, and their faces are serene. The background of the painting is a soft blue, which contrasts with the warm tones of the angels' clothing. The painting features intricate details, such as the folds of the angels' robes and the carvings on the wooden structure. The overall effect is one of harmony and balance.
