There are descriptions of angels in the Bible that you can check out, however, there are so many things we cannot understand about what they look like that it is next to impossible to find (or create) a realistic art-piece.
For example, the cherubim fond in the sixth chapter of Isaiah looked nothing like the accepted cherub. They were first painted as babies or children during the late Middle Ages and Renaissance so the illiterate public could see from paintings that they stood for purity - not so they would be a true likeness. If you look in Isaiah they were tall angels with wings that covered their face and feet and two wings for flight.
Again, we often look at the angel Gabriel and think of a man (or even a woman) with two wings. Gabriel had no wings, and we know that he was neither man nor woman (angels have no gender "...not given to marriage..."), but most closely resembled a man.
We also think of guardian angels with wings, but New Testament references lead us to believe that they, along with some other angels, look so like humans that they can be mistaken as normal people.
Your best bet is to do a direct study of Angels from the Bible. Use a Bible concordance to get a list of every time they are mentioned. The New International Version of the Bible will be the most accurate and understandable.
Good Luck!

You will learn over time that NONE of the descriptions in the Bible are interpreted correctly. It is a book written by men for rulers to dominate over people. The commandments are nothing but early roman laws for common early men who didn't have sense enough to know right from wrong. Any painting on Earth will be a human interpretation of what an "Angel" may be in their mind. You should look within for your answer.

listed right here are some angel descriptions. a million. short, fat, red , has a curly tail, and snorts. also has the potential to construct a house, which i detect incredibly ironic. 2.a contented, youthful lady who ,wears a red hood, and has a really bushy grandma with sharp the teeth. 3. A timber boy , that has a nostril that grows, even as he's mendacity. Im certain thier is and interior shaggy dog tale creeping round some the position in that one. your probally questioning why those dont in good structure the outline of your angel, properly one aspect all of them have in consumer-friendly is they're are all make beleive, so that you'll besides evaluate any of those characters i discussed to you.

Although there are many pictures of angels, angels are spirits without shape. However they can choose to assume human form when their assignment needs a physical body!

Let's ask Leonardo da Vinci or even better, Dan Brown. They know the truth about such things. : )
I believe you will find they look just like everyday people.

the images we have of angels come from Italian art and romace period imaginations.
