Archangel Ariel · Lion of God · Cuzco School Painting

Angels and Archangels are among the most characteristic themes of viceregal painting in America — their originality lies in the iconography and excellence with which they are portrayed, in contrast with European versions.

Archangel Ariel — whose name means “Lion of God” — is part of the celestial hierarchy and is seen as the protector of nature and Earth. Angels are heavenly messengers, mouthpieces of good news, though they can also carry solemn messages.
