Ángeles y demonios, sus iconografías en el arte medieval
Abstract
This contribution intends to approach the iconographic evolution of the image of angels and devils through the medieval Christian art. Given the generic extension of the topic —that has been even broadened to the representation of the habitat of angels and devils as well as to certain iconographies of synthesis (like that of the Last Judgement)— we have opted to do a general approach where the greater number of motifs related to the topic are dealt with or, at least, mentioned. Even so, it is necessary to point out that in the section from the specific artistic references used we have opted to restrict most of the examples to Western medieval art, leaving references to the Byzantine world to underlie those iconographies that show significant disparities.
