Angel art along the Camino

[MesaWalker]

I have seen a lot of discussion threads on ¨Camino angels,¨ but I am interested in something different and didn´t find a thread on the topic. Who has photos of paintings, scultures, etc. of angels along a camino you´ve walked that you particularly like? I would love to see people´s photos of angels they´ve seen along the way.

To get started, here is a favorite angel of mine - from the museum at the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela by Master Mateo.

Yesterday, I saw this angel statue inside the church at Montefurado on the Camino Invierno.

Yesterday, I saw this angel statue (perhaps Gabriel?) inside the church at Montefurado on the Camino Invierno.

The church is San Miguel and the angel has the attributes of Saint Michael, a sword and slaying a dragon, so I think it is the archangel Michael.

Great details, Rick. Yes, there was a dragon underfoot and he, (apparently St. Michael) is carrying a sword to stab it.

For somethig a bit more contemporary - a street art 'angel' (Logrono 2016) photographed through a glass panel (complete with my reflection)

Hello @MesaWalker
Some of my favourite angels are found on the tympanums of romansque churches in France.

Here are a couple of videos. Most of the churches are found along french pilgrim trails leading to Santiago de Compostela but there are spanish ones too. I particularly loved the angels of Colange-La-Rouge.

The second video gives closer views of the angels of Colange-La-Rouge and also a little history:
