Created by an unknown artist, this artifact is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Middle Ages in Styrian, Austria. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this remarkable piece as part of its decorative arts collection. The angel's vibrant polychrome and gilded finish on gesso immediately draws attention, radiating a golden hue that mesmerizes viewers.

With its religious symbolism deeply rooted in medieval beliefs, this flying angel serves as both an object of devotion and admiration for those who encounter it. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of religious art throughout history. Through this photograph print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the splendor and spiritual significance embodied within this Austrian masterpiece—an invaluable treasure preserved for generations to come thanks to The Metropolitan Museum of Art's dedication to preserving our cultural heritage.
