Subtle Bodies

Representing Angels in Byzantium

by Glenn Peers

An art-historical study of how Byzantine theologians and artists approached the problem of depicting bodiless angels. Peers examines icons, texts and miracle stories, including the cult of the archangel Michael, to show how angels were imagined as present in the material world.
